/gws-down

Stop the GWS environment for the current project. Type /gws-down inside your AI agent.

When to use it​

  • You're done working for the day
  • You want to free local resources without losing the project's registration or generated artifacts
  • You want to start fresh with /gws-up

What it does​

  1. Tears down — gws down -y (non-interactive).
  2. Confirms shutdown — verifies the CLI output lists the stopped deployments and file-sync sessions and contains no errors. "Nothing to stop" is treated as success.
  3. Prints next steps — tells you to run /gws-up to bring it back, or /gws-status to confirm everything is down.
