murmur kill

Kill is destructive and irreversible. The agent is canceled, its VM is released, and any in-progress work that has not been pushed or opened as a pull request is lost. To pause an agent without losing it, use murmur sleep instead.

Cancels a running agent and its entire child tree. The agent transitions to PHASE_CANCELED and its VM is destroyed. If the agent has children, they are canceled too. On a VM, the slug is optional — omitting it kills the current agent.

Synopsis

murmur kill [flags] [slug]

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
`slug`	string	on laptop	The agent’s slug. Optional on VMs (defaults to self).
`--service`	bool	no	Kill a service agent instead of a developer agent. Default: `false`.
`--workspace`	string	no	Workspace name. Overrides the value from `murmur.yaml`.

Examples

Kill a running agent

murmur kill fix-auth

killed fix-auth

The agent enters PHASE_CANCELED. Verify with murmur status:

murmur status fix-auth

workflow: github_oauth/alice/w/backend/fix-auth
phase:    PHASE_CANCELED

Kill a service agent

murmur kill merge-queue --service

killed merge-queue

Self-kill on a VM

When running on an agent VM, omit the slug to kill the current agent:

murmur kill

killed self

Errors

Code	Meaning	What to do
`NOT_FOUND`	No agent with that slug exists.	Check the slug spelling. Use `murmur ls` to see running agents.
`UNAUTHENTICATED`	Identity token is missing or expired.	Run `murmur auth` or check your `murmur.local.yaml` configuration.
`INVALID_ARGUMENT`	`service kill requires a slug`	The `--service` flag requires a slug — it cannot default to self.
