phx-freeze

Freeze — advisory edit scope

Apply a current-session instruction that limits which files this agent may edit.

This generated runtime does not install an enforcement hook, so the scope is

advisory rather than a technical lock. Never claim that edits are blocked by the

runtime.

Usage

/phx-freeze
/phx-freeze lib/app_web priv/repo
/phx-freeze status
/phx-freeze off

Treat the text after the skill invocation as follows:

| Invocation | Current-session behavior |

|---|---|

| No arguments | Do not edit files; investigation and reporting remain read-only. |

| Path prefixes | Edit only files under the listed project-relative prefixes. |

| status | Report the advisory scope currently established in this conversation. |

| off | Clear the advisory scope for subsequent work. |

Do not create .claude/.freeze. That sentinel belongs to the canonical Claude

Code plugin and could affect a later Claude Code session even though this runtime

cannot enforce or clear it reliably.

Iron Laws

1. Never describe this scope as enforced — it is a binding instruction for

the current agent, not a runtime or security boundary.

1. Never create or modify .claude/.freeze in a generated runtime — no

matching enforcement component is installed here.

1. Honor the active scope until the user clears it or the focused task ends —

ask before editing outside listed prefixes.

1. Keep paths project-relative — lib/foo includes that directory and its

descendants, not a sibling such as lib/foobar.
