Why we included this project

Shortcuts Playground is a plugin for Claude Code and Codex that turns plain-English descriptions into signed, importable .shortcut files for Apple's Shortcuts app. Instead of hand-writing action XML and parameter keys, you tell the agent what you want: it builds the action list, wires variables, picks an icon, and validates the generated plist in a self-correcting loop before signing it with Apple's native shortcuts CLI. It can also remix existing unsigned shortcut files, keeping the actions and UUIDs you didn't ask to change. The bundled knowledge base and static action, parameter, and trigger catalogs are what make the output reliable rather than plausible-looking, and the validation loop feeds errors back into the agent's context before signing. For developers and power users who want to generate or maintain macOS/iOS shortcuts without memorizing Shortcuts' internal schema, this is a practical tool.
