SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The unfreeze skill solves the problem of being stuck inside a restricted editing scope after running /freeze, letting you continue working across the whole workspace.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clears the freeze boundary: Removes the stored freeze state so edits are permitted for all directories.
  • Keeps session behavior consistent: Existing /freeze hooks remain registered, but without the state file they effectively allow everything.
  • Use case: You froze during a focused change, then later need to update related files elsewhere without ending the session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I remove an edit lock and resume workspace changes in bash?

To remove an edit lock and resume workspace changes, you delete the persisted freeze state file. This clears the editing restriction boundary so edits are permitted across all directories.

Why does my session still restrict file system edits after a focused change?

Your session restricts file system edits because a freeze state file is still persisted. Removing this stored state file allows the session to continue editing without needing a restart.

How to clear session state restrictions without ending the conversation?

You clear session state restrictions by running an unfreeze command that checks for the freeze state file, deletes it, and reports whether a boundary existed, keeping your conversation active.

Do I need to restart my developer workflow after freezing a workspace?

No, you do not need to restart your developer workflow after freezing a workspace. You can delete the freeze state file to lift the restriction and continue modifying related files elsewhere.

What happens to existing freeze hooks after the state file is removed?

After the state file is removed, existing freeze hooks remain registered but effectively allow everything. Without the state file, the hooks no longer enforce the editing restriction boundary.
