Our review

This skill clears the edit restriction set by /freeze, re-enabling edits in all directories.

Strengths

  • Widens edit scope without ending the session
  • Straightforward and explicit, with clear user feedback
  • Leverages a state file to check whether a restriction exists

Limitations

  • Requires the gstack state to be properly set up
  • Does not unregister /freeze hooks for the session; they simply become no-ops
  • Only works if the restriction was originally enforced via gstack
When to use it

Use this skill when a user explicitly asks to unfreeze, unlock, or remove edit restrictions imposed by /freeze.

When not to use it

Do not use it if the user wants to keep edit restrictions in place, or if the restriction was set up through a different mechanism than gstack.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score85/100

The skill uses bash, eval, writes analytics, and deletes a state file to clear a freeze boundary. Actions are legitimate for its stated purpose and do not exfiltrate secrets or perform destructive operations, but the eval introduces some execution risk if the gstack-paths script is tampered with.

Findings
  • Uses eval on output of ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-paths, which could execute arbitrary commands if that file is compromised.
  • Writes analytics data to ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl, including repository name derived from git.
  • Removes ~/.gstack/freeze-dir.txt, altering edit restrictions.

Examples

Remove freeze boundary
Please unfreeze the directories — I need to edit files anywhere again.
Unlock all directories
Unlock all directories so I can make changes without restrictions.
Clear edit restrictions
Remove the freeze state so I can edit any file in the project.

When to invoke this skill

Use when you want to widen edit scope without ending the session. Use when asked to "unfreeze", "unlock edits", "remove freeze", or "allow all edits".

/unfreeze — Clear Freeze Boundary

Remove the edit restriction set by /freeze, allowing edits to all directories.

mkdir -p ~/.gstack/analytics
echo '{"skill":"unfreeze","ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","repo":"'$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)" 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")'"}'  >> ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true

Clear the boundary

eval "$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-paths)"
STATE_DIR="$GSTACK_STATE_ROOT"
if [ -f "$STATE_DIR/freeze-dir.txt" ]; then
  PREV=$(cat "$STATE_DIR/freeze-dir.txt")
  rm -f "$STATE_DIR/freeze-dir.txt"
  echo "Freeze boundary cleared (was: $PREV). Edits are now allowed everywhere."
else
  echo "No freeze boundary was set."
fi

Tell the user the result. Note that /freeze hooks are still registered for the session — they will just allow everything since no state file exists. To re-freeze, run /freeze again.
