macOS Shortcuts Generator

Generate valid .shortcut files that can be signed and imported into Apple's Shortcuts app.

Quick Start

A shortcut is a binary plist with this structure:





    WFWorkflowActions
    
        
    
    WFWorkflowClientVersion
    2700.0.4
    WFWorkflowHasOutputFallback
    
    WFWorkflowIcon

            WFSerializationType
            WFTextTokenString

Core Concepts

1. Actions

Every action has:

Identifier: is.workflow.actions. (e.g., is.workflow.actions.showresult)

Parameters: Action-specific configuration in WFWorkflowActionParameters

UUID: Unique identifier for referencing this action's output

2. Variable References

To use output from a previous action: 1. The source action needs a UUID parameter 2. Reference it using OutputUUID in an attachmentsByRange dictionary 3. Use (U+FFFC) as placeholder in the string where the variable goes 4. Set WFSerializationType to WFTextTokenString

3. Control Flow

Control flow actions (repeat, conditional, menu) use:

GroupingIdentifier: UUID linking start/middle/end actions

WFControlFlowMode: 0=start, 1=middle (else/case), 2=end

Signing Shortcuts

Shortcuts MUST be signed before they can be imported. Use the macOS shortcuts CLI:

# Sign for anyone to use
shortcuts sign --mode anyone --input MyShortcut.shortcut --output MyShortcut_signed.shortcut
Sign for people who know you
shortcuts sign --mode people-who-know-me --input MyShortcut.shortcut --output MyShortcut_signed.shortcut

The signing process: 1. Write your plist as XML to a .shortcut file 2. Run shortcuts sign to add cryptographic signature (~19KB added) 3. The signed file can be opened/imported into Shortcuts.app

Workflow for Creating Shortcuts

1. Define actions - List what the shortcut should do 2. Generate UUIDs - Each action that produces output needs a unique UUID 3. Build action array - Create each action dictionary with identifier and parameters 4. Wire variable references - Connect outputs to inputs using OutputUUID 5. Wrap in plist - Add the root structure with icon, name, version 6. Write to file - Save as .shortcut (XML plist format is fine) 7. Sign - Run shortcuts sign to make it importable

Key Rules

1. UUIDs must be uppercase: A1B2C3D4-E5F6-7890-ABCD-EF1234567890 2. WFControlFlowMode is an integer: Use 0 not 0 3. Range keys use format: {position, length} - e.g., {0, 1} for first character 4. The placeholder character: (U+FFFC) marks where variables are inserted 5. Control flow needs matching ends: Every repeat/if/menu start needs an end action with same GroupingIdentifier
