/cs:freeze — Cooldown Lock on a Decision

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.

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)
