A command that removes a temporary edit boundary created by freeze or guard mode.

In plain words
What is it for?
It ends the current session's freeze restriction so work can continue across the codebase.
Why use it?

About the project

Claude Octopus is an orchestration project that sends research, design, and coding tasks to Claude Code and other AI model providers so their results can be compared. Developers use it for multi-model work, disagreement detection, reviews, persistent context, and an optional workflow that moves from discovery through delivery. The catalogue entries are its commands, skills, agents, instructions, hooks, plugins, and settings.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

octo-unfreeze scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Unfreeze - Remove Edit Boundary

Instructions

When the user invokes /octo:unfreeze, remove the freeze mode restriction.

Deactivation

Remove the freeze state file:

_OCTO_SESSION_ID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID:-$$}}"
rm -f "/tmp/octopus-freeze-${_OCTO_SESSION_ID}.txt"

What It Does

Removes the edit boundary set by /octo:freeze or /octo:guard. After unfreezing, Edit and Write operations are unrestricted again.

Note: This does NOT deactivate careful mode. If careful mode was activated (via /octo:careful or /octo:guard), destructive command warnings remain active.

Usage

/octo:unfreeze

After deactivation, confirm to the user:

🔓 Freeze mode deactivated. Edits are no longer restricted to a specific directory.

When to Use

  • Finished debugging a specific module
  • Need to edit files outside the current freeze boundary
  • Switching focus to a different part of the codebase

See Also

  • /octo:freeze — Activate edit boundary enforcement
  • /octo:guard — Activate both careful + freeze together
  • /octo:careful — Destructive command warnings (independent of freeze)
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
