# Migration Script: $ARGUMENTS syntax (v2.1.19 breaking change)
#
# Purpose: Update custom commands from old dot notation to new bracket syntax
# Breaking Change: $ARGUMENTS.0 → $ARGUMENTS[0] (introduced in Claude Code v2.1.19)
#
# Usage:
# .\migrate-arguments-syntax.ps1 # Preview changes
# .\migrate-arguments-syntax.ps1 -Apply # Apply changes
#
# Safety: Creates backups before modifying files
param(
[switch]$Apply
