What Mechanize does

description: Turn a repeatedly-violated CLAUDE.md rule into a PreToolUse hook that enforces it argument-hint:

/mechanize

Convert `$ARGUMENTS` from a prose rule into a hook that makes the failure impossible, then delete the prose.

Before writing anything, decide the shape

Not every rule should block. Pick one:

Shape	Use when	Example
Auto-fix	The correct rewrite is provable and safe	strip a `cd` into the directory you are al
