Description

I know the focus right now is compatibility with the basic userland, but what about making it possible to pipe inputs and outputs through Siri shortcuts a.k.a. Workflows? It would make it possible to ”Shell out” from any app supporting it without the need of a remote server.

First Idea that comes to mind:

  • Open example code website
  • share action -> Shortcuts app
  • choose a workflow with action “run iSH command”
  • exec command with clipboard pasted as stdin
  • return stdout back to the shortcuts workflow

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to expose command execution through Siri Shortcuts using iOS custom intents or x callback url. Look at existing apps that support Shortcuts for inspiration.
