Running and managing Apple Shortcuts via the macOS shortcuts CLI. Use when the user wants to run, list, or inspect shortcuts.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Shortcuts CLI The `shortcuts` command manages and runs shortcuts on macOS. ## Run ```bash shortcuts run "My Shortcut" shortcuts run "My Shortcut" -i input.txt shortcuts run "My Shortcut" -o output.txt echo "data" | shortcuts run "My Shortcut" ``` Run by identifier (stable across renames): ```bash shortcuts run "01C97432-525A-4BF6-94DF-C35458FCD21A" ``` Get identifiers with `shortcuts list --show-identifiers`. ### Headless behavior Shortcuts with GUI actions (alerts, menus, input prompts) fail with "Running was cancelled" when run from the CLI. Only non-interactive shortcuts work headlessly. ### Permissions First-time actions (notifications, location, contacts, etc.) trigger a macOS permission dialog. The shortcut pauses until the user approves. Inform the user when running a shortcut that may trigger prompts. ## List ```bash shortcuts list shortcuts list --show-identifiers shortcuts list -f "Folder Name" shortcuts list --folders ``` ## View Opens a shortcut in the Shortcuts app editor. ```bash shortcuts view "My Shortcut" ``` ## Sign Sign a `.shortcut` file for import (requires network — contacts Apple's signing service): ```bash mkdir -p out …

How to install
mdr add bendrucker/claude/shortcuts:cli@sha256:a5d780238f0bfb4bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260615.1ec44ee, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
