Bridges macOS Shortcuts.app into LifeOS: build a Shortcut once via computer use, then call it as a CLI to reach Apple-only capabilities like HomeKit. USE WHEN build a shortcut, create a shortcut, macOS shortcut, shortcuts app, run a shortcut, automate a native mac task, HomeKit automation that needs a shortcut, thermostat shortcuts, control home from CLI, wrap an Apple-only action, no API for this app. NOT FOR web automation (Interceptor), shell-scriptable tasks (Bash), devices reachable by API (Home / Network).

# Shortcuts

Turn GUI-only macOS Shortcuts into callable LifeOS automation. Shortcuts reaches Apple-only surfaces (HomeKit/Home, native system actions, app intents) that have no other automation path. Computer use is slow and pixel-fragile, while the `shortcuts` CLI is fast and deterministic but can only run shortcuts, never build them. So each capability is built once (BuildShortcut) and is plain CLI from then on (RunShortcut, through `Tools/Shortcuts.ts`). This is CLI-first doctrine applied to the no-API problem.

## Ideal State

- Each Apple-only capability is built once as a Shortcut under the exact name its consumers call, and is proven by a `run` whose output matches the spec, never by how the editor looks.
- Every later use is plain CLI through `Tools/Shortcuts.ts` or `shortcuts run`, with no pixels and no computer use.
- A failed run or missing shortcut is diagnosed against the exact registered names, so a case or whitespace mismatch is caught before anything is rebuilt.
