Guard
Enforces project safety constraints by blocking risky operations outside their approved scope during active development. Use when activating a safety guard or constraint for the current session.

About
Guard Check
Check the freeze status of the codebase. Use as a gate check before any operations on the main branch.
Workflow
1. Read .freeze
If it does not exist:
✅ CLEAR — No active freeze.
Development and merging can proceed normally.Stop here.
If it exists, proceed to step 2.
2. Display Freeze Warning
🔒 CODEBASE IS FROZEN
Reason : [REASON from .freeze]
Since : [FROZEN_AT]
Branch : [BRANCH]
Duration: [calculated from FROZEN_AT to current time]
⚠️ Non-critical merges are blocked during a freeze period.3. Categorize the Request
Ask: > "What type of operation is this?" > > A) Urgent Hotfix — production bug, security patch > B) Release Artifact — changelog, version bump, release notes > C) Non-critical — feature, refactor, chore, normal docs
If A or B: Allow to proceed with a note: > "⚠️ Permitted to proceed. Note that this is a freeze period — execute only necessary operations."
If C: Block and instruct: > "🚫 Non-critical changes must wait until after /unfreeze. > Save your work and continue after the release is complete."
4. Suggestions
/unfreeze— If the release is finished/release-checklist— If currently in the release process/hotfix— If an urgent fix deployment is needed
Edge Cases
- No .freeze: Just report CLEAR, ask no further questions.
- User unsure of operation type: Ask for more details to categorize correctly before deciding.
