Locks the codebase to prevent unintended writes during a freeze period such as before a release or during an incident. Use when the user mentions freezing, code lock, or release lockdown.

Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Lock the codebase in preparation for a release. Create a .freeze file containing freeze information.
Check if .freeze already exists by reading the file. If it exists, display the information and ask:
"The codebase is currently frozen for: [REASON]. Do you want to override the current freeze? (yes/no)"
If no, stop.
If no argument is provided, ask:
"What is the reason for the freeze? (e.g., 'Release v2.1.0', 'Hotfix deployment', 'Sprint end')"
.freeze FileWrite the following content:
FROZEN=true
REASON=[reason]
FROZEN_AT=[ISO timestamp]

Generates high-fidelity architecture diagrams, sequence flows, and component maps for SDD projects. Use when finalizing a design phase, documenting system architecture, or visualizing agentic workflows. Default style: Style 6 (Claude Official).
data-ai
Provides vector database and semantic search patterns for Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Milvus, and pgvector in RAG and recommendation systems. Use when implementing vector search or when the user mentions vector database, semantic search, embeddings, or similarity search.
development
Updates docs/technical/CODEMAP.md by scanning the current codebase structure. Run after a significant feature merge, refactor, or when CODEMAP feels stale.
development
Unlocks the codebase after a release freeze or incident freeze period to resume normal development. Use when a freeze period ends or when the user mentions unfreezing or lifting the code freeze.
