Set a cooling-off period for an approved strategic decision, keeping it out of repeated debate until expiry or a defined exception. It records freeze dates and early-release reasons so later reviews can trace changes.
/cs:freeze <decision> <days> — Lock a strategic decision for a cooldown period to prevent impulse reversal. Mirrors gstack's safety primitives for the business layer. Use when an irreversible decision was made under pressure — e.g. a layoff plan or multi-year contract — and deserves a cooling-off lock before execution.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Command: /cs: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.
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:
| 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 |
| Personnel (exec hire / fire) | 60 days |
| M&A LOI | 30 days |
| Custom | specify in command |

To unfreeze before the period ends, the founder runs:
/cs:unfreeze <decision> <reason>
The unfreeze is logged in the decision history (preserved permanently). Forced overrides create a paper trail that surfaces at post-mortem.
If a kill criterion in the decision triggers, the freeze auto-releases and the chief-of-staff routes immediately to /cs:post-mortem. The freeze does not protect against reality; it protects against impulse.
Founders have authority. Without an explicit lock + log, every wobble produces a "let's discuss this again" — which is exhausting for advisors and erodes the value of the boardroom. The freeze is a process, not a rule; it logs every override so the post-mortem can audit founder discipline.
