What it does
Shortcuts Generator is an agent skill from drewocarr/generate-shortcuts-skill. Generate macOS/iOS Shortcuts by creating plist files. Use when asked to create shortcuts, automate workflows, build .shortcut files, or generate Shortcuts plists. Covers 1,155 actions (427 WFActions + 728 AppIntents), variable references, and control flow.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files (for example `ACTIONS.md`, `APPINTENTS.md` and `CONTROL_FLOW.md`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Workflow automation. It works with macOS and iOS. The repository describes itself as: a little skill that explains the shortcuts plist format to claude.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to create shortcuts
- Automate workflows
- Build .shortcut files
- Generate Shortcuts plists
Example prompts
- “/shortcuts-generator”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Write, Bash
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Actions
- Variable References
- Control Flow
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b19e544. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
WriteBash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are xml and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
apple.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Shortcuts Generator loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 474 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Write, Bash
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 474 words (~1,975 tokens).
“Generate valid .shortcut files that can be signed and imported into Apple's Shortcuts app.”
