The D in my title stands for definition, what does mechanics in starcraft exactly mean?

well my definition would be one's ability to click fast, use hotkeys, macro, etc. Basically just everything that isn't strategy

Mechanics refers to hand speed, ability to multitask, memory (such as remember to produce units and upgrade), and reflexes.

Mechanics would be the perfect execution of your intended strategies and tactics throughout a game. Regardless of your strategy you should always maximize the effeciency of your units and economy through perfect building timings, unit order and battle micro ;P. Those are your mechanics.
