Frequently Asked Questions about unfreeze

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I unlock edit restrictions and allow full directory edits again?▼

To unlock edit restrictions, the unfreeze command checks STATE_DIR for a freeze-dir.txt file and removes it if found, clearing the edit boundary and re-enabling edits across all directories.

What happens to my session hooks when I remove a freeze boundary?▼

When you remove a freeze boundary, existing /freeze hooks remain registered for the session, preserving session continuity while allowing edits to all directories without ending the current session.

Can I widen my edit scope without ending the current shell session?▼

Yes, you can widen edit scope without ending the session by clearing the freeze boundary, which removes the freeze-dir.txt state file and re-enables full directory edits while keeping the session active.

Why are my directory edits still blocked after a temporary lock?▼

Directory edits remain blocked because the freeze-dir.txt state file still exists in STATE_DIR, and clearing it requires running the unfreeze command to remove the active edit boundary and restore full edit access.

How do I know if an edit boundary is currently active in my session?▼

The unfreeze command detects whether a freeze boundary exists by checking for a freeze-dir.txt file in STATE_DIR, providing a clear result to the user about the current edit restriction status.

When should I use the unfreeze command to restore directory editing?▼

Use the unfreeze command when you need to widen edit scope during a session or after a temporary lock, such as when asked to unfreeze, unlock edits, remove freeze, or allow all edits across directories.
