Why This Name Works
Frost.sh takes the everyday meaning of "frost"—to freeze something in place—and applies it to developer tooling built around locking state, dependencies, or environments into a fixed, reproducible form.
The .sh extension is already used across this portfolio for short, memorable developer command-line tool names, and "frost" reads clearly as a one-word action a command can perform.
The name can support a dependency-lockfile tool, an environment-snapshot utility, or a broader command-line product for freezing and restoring application state.
Naming Advantages
Category-Clear
An exact-match name for state-freezing developer tools with a familiar .sh extension.
Command-Ready
Reads naturally as a CLI verb: freeze it, then restore it later.
Short & Memorable
A single short word that developers can type and recall without effort.
Room to Grow
Fits a narrow snapshot utility today or a broader environment-management platform later.
