Is Directory Freeze a security feature?

It is primarily a productivity tool designed to prevent accidental edits. It is not a hardened security sandbox, as certain shell commands via the Bash tool could still technically modify files.

Does this prevent Claude from reading other files?

No, the Freeze skill only blocks Edit and Write operations. Claude can still use Read, Bash, Glob, and Grep tools to view files outside the restricted boundary.

Can I change the allowed directory after it is set?

Yes, you can simply run the /freeze command again and provide a new directory path to update the boundary for your current session.

How do I deactivate the directory restriction?

You can remove the edit restriction at any time by running the /unfreeze command or by ending your current Claude Code session.

Restricts file editing capabilities to a specific directory to prevent accidental changes to unrelated code during development.

Directory Freeze is a workflow safety utility that locks Claude Code's edit and write operations to a user-defined path. By enforcing strict boundaries on tool usage, it ensures that AI-driven modifications remain contained within a specific target module or folder. This is particularly useful when debugging isolated issues, refactoring complex codebases, or performing surgical fixes where you want to eliminate the risk of the AI 'hallucinating' improvements in unrelated files.
