Scope Lock

Restricts file editing to a defined set of paths. When a freeze scope is active, all Write/Edit operations outside the allowed paths are blocked by the privacy-guard hook.

How It Works

1. User runs /freeze src/components/ src/lib/api.ts
2. Allowed paths are written to .agent/.freeze-scope (one path per line)
3. privacy-guard.sh reads this file before every Edit/Write
4. If target file is outside all allowed paths → BLOCKED
5. User runs /unfreeze → scope file deleted, all edits allowed again

Rules for Agents

• ALWAYS check if .agent/.freeze-scope exists before suggesting edits
• If scope is active, ONLY propose changes to files within the allowed paths
• If a necessary change is outside scope, inform the user and suggest /unfreeze first
• Never modify or delete .agent/.freeze-scope directly — use /unfreeze

State File Format

.agent/.freeze-scope:

src/components/
src/lib/api.ts

Each line is either a directory (trailing /) or exact file path. A file matches if its path starts with any listed entry.
