Use for /c-level-agents:freeze, or to put a cooling-off lock on an irreversible decision made under pressure.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# /c-level-agents:freeze — Cooldown Lock on a Decision

**Command:** `/c-level-agents:freeze <decision-path> <days>`

Locks a decision for a defined cooldown period. During the freeze, the chief-of-staff router refuses to re-litigate the decision unless a kill criterion explicitly triggers.

Inspired by gstack's `/freeze` and `/guard` safety primitives — adapted from code-scoping to strategic-scoping.

## When to Use

Founders are pattern-matchers; pattern-matching after a tough decision often produces a reversal that's actually just decision fatigue. The freeze enforces a discipline:

- After any **irreversible** or **high-cost-to-reverse** decision (fundraise, layoff, market entry)
- After a **split-vote boardroom** (preserve the call against second-guessing)
- After a **founder gut-feel** override of unanimous advisor consensus (let it run)
- During a **personnel transition** (lock the strategy so the new exec can execute, not redebate)

## Default Freeze Periods

| Decision type | Default freeze |
|---|---|
| Fundraise round size / lead choice | 30 days |
| Pricing change | 60 days |
| Market entry / exit | 90 days |
| Layoff / RIF | 30 days |
| Strategic pivot | 90 days |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alirezarezvani/claude-skills/freeze@sha256:a39dafda94ab0a93

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.b078bb8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
