unfreeze

unfreeze is a skill for Claude Code from tranhieutt/software_development_department. It costs 41 tokens per session (445 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for lifting a code freeze, a temporary period when development and merges are paused. It checks the freeze record, asks for confirmation, removes the freeze marker, and logs the change when possible.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a release or incident freeze has ended and the team needs to resume development and merging.
Why use it?
It prevents development from resuming without checking why the freeze exists and whether the release or incident is finished. It also records when normal work was restored.

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

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

Code Unfreeze

Remove the code freeze, allowing merges and development to continue.

Workflow

1. Check Status

Read .freeze. If it does not exist, notify and stop:

"✅ Codebase is not currently frozen. Unfreeze is not needed."

2. Display Current Freeze Information

🔒 Current Freeze:
Reason     : [REASON from .freeze]
Frozen at  : [FROZEN_AT]
Branch     : [BRANCH]
Duration   : [calculated from FROZEN_AT to current time]

3. Confirmation

Ask:

"Are you sure you want to unfreeze? Is the release/deployment complete? (yes/no)"

If "no", stop.

4. Remove .freeze

Use Bash to delete the file: rm .freeze

5. Log to Session State

Append to production/session-state/active.md (if it exists):

## Unfreeze Log — [timestamp]
- Unfrozen at: [timestamp]
- Was frozen for: [duration]
- Reason was: [reason]

6. Notification

✅ CODEBASE UNFROZEN
Development can resume normally.
All merges and deployments are now permitted.

Edge Cases

  • No freeze exists: Notify clearly, take no further action.
  • active.md does not exist: Skip the logging step, do not throw an error.
  • /freeze — Lock the codebase
  • /guard — Check the current status
  • /release-checklist — Full release workflow
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.
