Creating Apple Shortcuts programmatically as plist XML files. Use when the user wants to build, generate, or author Apple Shortcuts without the GUI app.
Generates Apple Shortcuts as XML property list files for programmatic automation workflows.
npx claudepluginhub bendrucker/claudeThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
references/actions.mdreferences/control-flow.mdreferences/deployment.mdreferences/discovery.mdreferences/parameters.mdreferences/plist-structure.mdreferences/variables.mdscripts/discover.swiftGenerate Apple Shortcuts as XML property list files.
uname -swhich shortcuts 2>/dev/null && echo "available" || echo "not available"If the OS is Darwin (macOS), use the discovery CLI and the full deployment pipeline (convert, sign, import, run). If Linux, generate XML only — signing and import are unavailable. Inform the user.
On macOS, use the discovery CLI to find actions: see references/discovery.md
On any platform, use the static action catalog: see references/actions.md
Write the shortcut as an XML plist. Load references as needed:
Minimal template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>WFWorkflowMinimumClientVersionString</key>
<string>900</string>
<key>WFWorkflowMinimumClientVersion</key>
<integer>900</integer>
<key>WFWorkflowClientVersion</key>
<string>2702</string>
<key>WFWorkflowIcon</key>
<dict>
<key>WFWorkflowIconStartColor</key>
<integer>463140863</integer>
<key>WFWorkflowIconGlyphNumber</key>
<integer>59511</integer>
</dict>
<key>WFWorkflowTypes</key>
<array>
<string>MenuBar</string>
</array>
<key>WFWorkflowInputContentItemClasses</key>
<array/>
<key>WFWorkflowActions</key>
<array>
<!-- actions go here -->
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
Key conventions:
Set Variable / Get Variable over inline WFTextTokenString.UUID and CustomOutputName to an action's parameters to capture its output.See references/deployment.md for the full pipeline: convert, sign, import, iterate.
Quick reference:
plutil -convert binary1 -o "My Shortcut.shortcut" "My Shortcut.plist"
mkdir -p out
shortcuts sign -i "My Shortcut.shortcut" -o "out/My Shortcut.shortcut"
open "out/My Shortcut.shortcut"
Expert guidance for Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR). **PROACTIVE ACTIVATION**: Use this skill automatically when working in Next.js projects that have `cacheComponents: true` in their next.config.ts/next.config.js. When this config is detected, proactively apply Cache Components patterns and best practices to all React Server Component implementations. **DETECTION**: At the start of a session in a Next.js project, check for `cacheComponents: true` in next.config. If enabled, this skill's patterns should guide all component authoring, data fetching, and caching decisions. **USE CASES**: Implementing 'use cache' directive, configuring cache lifetimes with cacheLife(), tagging cached data with cacheTag(), invalidating caches with updateTag()/revalidateTag(), optimizing static vs dynamic content boundaries, debugging cache issues, and reviewing Cache Component implementations.
Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
