emacs-freeze

emacs-freeze is a skill for Claude Code from benthamite/dotfiles. It costs 60 tokens per session (2,625 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A diagnosis process for an Emacs editor that is frozen, hung, or showing a spinning wait cursor. It samples the process and checks server buffers when possible.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Emacs is unresponsive or beachballing, rather than for ordinary Emacs Lisp errors while the editor still works.
Why use it?
A frozen editor cannot respond normally to commands or error messages. Process and buffer checks can help identify what is blocking it and suggest recovery.

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

emacs-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 8d 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.

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.
