SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prevents accidental or unauthorized file changes during investigative or review sessions by enforcing a read-only interaction mode and restricting file-modifying actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read-only enforcement: Disallows write, edit, or any file-modifying tools and commands during the session.
  • Safe exploration: Ideal for code review, repository exploration, research, and audit scenarios where preserving the repository state is critical.
  • Assistant guidance: The assistant will remind users that freeze mode is active if modification requests are made and suggest deactivation to proceed with edits.

Quick Start

Start a freeze-mode session by asking the assistant to "activate freeze mode" and perform only read-only analysis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent accidental file modifications during code review?

Read-only enforcement disallows write, edit, or any file-modifying tools and commands during the session to preserve the repository state during code review and audits.

How do I start a safe exploration session for repository research?

To start a safe exploration session for repository research, ask the assistant to activate freeze mode, which restricts tools to read-only operations and prevents any unauthorized changes to the codebase.

Can I use read-only tools like Glob and Grep for codebase analysis without risking changes?

Yes, you can use read-only tools like Glob and Grep for codebase analysis. This mode restricts operations to Read, Glob, and Grep, explicitly disallowing file-modifying commands and write tools to preserve repository state.

What happens if I request file edits while safe exploration mode is active?

If you request file edits while safe exploration mode is active, the assistant will remind you that the session is read-only and suggest deactivating the mode before proceeding with any file modifications.

When should I use a read-only session for software engineering tasks?

You should use a read-only session for software engineering tasks like code review, repository exploration, research, and audit scenarios where preserving the repository state is critical and no file modifications are desired.
