Sandbox Activate

Wire up a sandbox item so Claude Code discovers and uses it.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS is <name> — the item name (without extension).

Steps

  1. Detect engineer from usr/*/ directories.

  2. Find the item by searching usr/<engineer>/ for files matching <name>:

    • usr/<engineer>/claude/commands/<name>.md → command
    • usr/<engineer>/agency/hooks/<name>.sh → hook
    • usr/<engineer>/agency/hookify/<name>.md → hookify
    • usr/<engineer>/tools/<name>.* → tool
    • usr/<engineer>/scripts/<name>.* → script
  3. Check for existing symlink. If one exists, show target and ask to replace.

  4. Create symlink based on type:

    • command: ln -sf ../../usr/<engineer>/claude/commands/<name>.md .claude/commands/usr-<engineer>.<name>.md
    • hookify: ln -sf ../usr/<engineer>/agency/hookify/<name>.md .claude/hookify.usr-<engineer>.<name>.local.md
    • hook: create symlink + print the settings.local.json entry needed for manual wiring
    • tool/script: print PATH instruction
  5. Verify the symlink resolves.

  6. Print confirmation.
