freeze

freeze is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AlexZio00/sovereign-skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,900 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scope lock that marks which files or areas may be changed during an implementation task. Everything outside that boundary is treated as read-only.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before implementation when only specific files or concepts should be modified and the rest of the project must remain untouched.
Why use it?
It prevents unrelated edits and keeps the work aligned with the requested change.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Rogue Agent · line 237
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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

freeze 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 240 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/freeze — Scope Lock

Declare editable zone — everything outside is frozen.

Dominant Variable

In this task, is the editable scope explicitly declared? — If unclear, scope creep naturally develops during implementation. First of three principles (freeze / careful / guard): freeze = boundary lock (this skill), careful = 3-strike debugging gate, guard = risky path protection.

Trigger

  • /freeze
  • "freeze this"
  • "scope lock"
  • "스코프 잠금"
  • "이것만 건드려"
  • "나머지 건드리지 마"
  • "범위 잠가"

Discard If

  • Exploration / research only (no modifications expected)
  • Already a clear single-file edit (1 file, ≤10 lines)
  • Brainstorming phase (scope not yet finalized before design approval)

Key Assumptions

  1. User specifies ≥1 modification target — If broken: ask once for clarity; if still unclear, freeze broadly.
  2. Implementation work follows in the same session — If only declaring scope and ending, this skill is unnecessary.

Architecture

User input (file / module / concept scope)
    ↓
[PARSE]   → classify as editable / frozen / read-only
    ↓
[DECLARE] → generate FROZEN SCOPE block
    ↓
[OUTPUT]  → emit immediately, then exit

Stage 1: PARSE

Extract from user input:

  • editable: explicitly named files / modules / paths — modifications allowed
  • frozen: everything else (default frozen if not mentioned)
  • read-only: mentioned but modification status unclear → conservatively treat as read-only

If scope is too vague ("everything", "roughly") → ask for clarity once only. Still unclear → freeze more broadly (Invariant 2).


Stage 2: DECLARE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔒 FROZEN SCOPE — [One-line task description]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✅ EDITABLE (modifications allowed)
  [list of files / modules]

❌ FROZEN (no modifications)
  [everything else — or "all except above"]

⚠️  READ-ONLY (reference only)
  [mentioned but no modifications allowed]

Rules:
- FROZEN files: Edit/Write forbidden. Read only.
- If modification necessity discovered → stop immediately, report to user
- Thaw: user must explicitly say "unfreeze [file]" or "expand scope"

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.

freeze is a skill published in the GitHub repository AlexZio00/sovereign-skills (129 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,900 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
