Freeze

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Debugging to prevent accidentally fixing unrelated code
• You want to scope changes to one module
• Asked to freeze
• Only edit this folder

Example prompts

• “fixing”
• “freeze”
• “restrict edits”
• “/freeze”

Requirements

• A Bash shell
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Resolve it to an absolute path
2. 2Ensure trailing slash and save to the freeze state file

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a67256d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Bash
  • Read
  • AskUserQuestion

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Freeze loads about 681 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 236 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~81

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~681

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

• NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md

  allowed-tools: Bash, Read, AskUserQuestion

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Restrict file edits to a specific directory for the session. Blocks Edit and Write outside the allowed path.
