Unfreeze

Startups Coding

Install Unfreeze

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add garrytan/gstack --skill unfreeze

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads unfreeze when the request matches its description.

03

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the unfreeze skill”. In Codex, type $unfreeze.

/unfreeze — Clear Freeze Boundary

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

GSTACK_STATE_ROOT=$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-paths --get GSTACK_STATE_ROOT); : "${GSTACK_STATE_ROOT:?gstack-paths failed; reinstall with ./setup or /gstack-upgrade}"
mkdir -p "$GSTACK_STATE_ROOT"/analytics
echo '{"skill":"unfreeze","ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","repo":"'$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)" 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")'"}'  >> "$GSTACK_STATE_ROOT"/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true

Clear the boundary

bash "$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/freeze/bin/freeze-state.sh" clear

This is explicit user-requested removal, not investigation cleanup. The shared writer serializes it with acquisition, replacement and owner-checked release. On FREEZE_BUSY or unexpected state, leave everything untouched and report recovery; never delete state or a possibly active mutation lock directly.

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.

Tips for Unfreeze

  • • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
  • • It is part of a pack with 67 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
  • • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
