SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes a previously set “freeze boundary” so you can continue working with edits enabled across all directories instead of being restricted.

Core Features & Use Cases

Clears the freeze state: Removes the freeze marker so the system no longer blocks edits.
Keeps the session consistent: Unfreeze affects the current edit restrictions without ending the session.
Common use case: When you started a constrained editing phase with /freeze but later need to broaden changes across the repository.

Quick Start

Run the unfreeze Skill to remove the active freeze boundary and allow edits everywhere again.

FAQPage Schema

How do I restore edit permissions across my workspace after applying a freeze boundary?▼

To restore edit permissions across your workspace, you need to clear the active freeze boundary by removing the freeze state file at GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/freeze-dir.txt, which logs the outcome and re-enables edits everywhere.

Why does my workspace still restrict edits in all directories during a session?▼

Your workspace restricts edits because a freeze state file is currently active, blocking edit permissions across all directories until you remove the freeze marker and restore edit scope.

How do I widen edit scope for follow-up repository changes during the same session?▼

You can widen edit scope for repository changes by deleting the freeze state file at GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/freeze-dir.txt, clearing the workflow control boundary while keeping your current session consistent.

When do I need to remove a freeze state from my workspace?▼

You need to remove a freeze state from your workspace when you previously used a freeze command for constrained editing but now need to broaden changes across all directories for follow-up work.

Does removing the freeze boundary affect my current developer operations session?▼

Removing the freeze boundary does not end your current developer operations session, it simply affects current edit restrictions by restoring edit permissions across directories without disrupting session consistency.

What is the best way to re-enable edits across all directories after freezing?▼

The best way to re-enable edits across all directories is to clear the freeze state by detecting and deleting the freeze-dir.txt file at GSTACK_STATE_ROOT, which logs the outcome and removes edit restrictions.
