0SxD Edit Mode — Governance Unlock/Lock
When to Use
Only when Sage explicitly requests to modify governance components (rules, skills, hooks, configs).
Protocol
- Sage invokes /sagex:edit-mode
- Confirm: "Edit mode active. What do you want to change?"
- Make ONLY the changes Sage specifies
- Read back every change for confirmation
- Sage invokes /sagex:lock to re-engage
What unlocks
- config/approved_sources.json
- config/notebook_assignments.json
- rules/ directory
- skills/ directory
- hooks/ directory
- agents/ directory
What stays locked
- The edit-mode command itself
- The lock command
- Hook enforcement (hooks still fire)
Safety
- Edit mode does NOT disable hooks — it enables modification of files hooks READ
- All changes logged to .claude/edit_mode_log.md with timestamp
- If session ends without /sagex:lock, next session starts locked (fail-safe)
