Duplicate Shortcut

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/shortcuts/tools.ts:214-233 (registration)

  Registration of the duplicate_shortcut tool with its input schema (name, newName) and handler that calls duplicateShortcutScript via JXA.

  server.registerTool(
    "duplicate_shortcut",
    {
      title: "Duplicate Shortcut",
      description:
        "Duplicate an existing Siri Shortcut. Exports the shortcut to a temporary file and re-imports it with a new name.",
      inputSchema: {
        name: z.string().max(500).describe("Name of the shortcut to duplicate (exact match)"),
        newName: z.string().max(500).describe("Name for the duplicated shortcut"),
      },
      annotations: { readOnlyHint: false, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: false, openWorldHint: false },
    },
    async ({ name, newName }) => {
      try {
        return ok(await runJxa(duplicateShortcutScript(name, newName)));
      } catch (e) {
        return errJxaFor("duplicate shortcut", e);
      }
    },
  );

• src/shortcuts/tools.ts:226-232 (handler)

  Handler function for duplicate_shortcut: runs the JXA script via runJxa and wraps result in ok() or errJxaFor().

  async ({ name, newName }) => {
    try {
      return ok(await runJxa(duplicateShortcutScript(name, newName)));
    } catch (e) {
      return errJxaFor("duplicate shortcut", e);
    }
  },

• src/shortcuts/tools.ts:220-223 (schema)

  Input schema definition for duplicate_shortcut: requires 'name' (source shortcut) and 'newName' (duplicate name), both strings max 500 chars.

  inputSchema: {
    name: z.string().max(500).describe("Name of the shortcut to duplicate (exact match)"),
    newName: z.string().max(500).describe("Name for the duplicated shortcut"),
  },

• src/shortcuts/scripts.ts:112-124 (helper)

  JXA script generator that exports the original shortcut to a temp file, imports it (creating a duplicate), then deletes the temp file.

  export function duplicateShortcutScript(name: string, newName: string): string {
    const safeName = escJxaShell(newName).replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]/g, "_");
    // Inline a unique temp file path so concurrent duplicates don't collide and
    // sandboxed runtimes can redirect via AIRMCP_TEMP_DIR.
    const tempFile = join(PATHS.TEMP_DIR, `${safeName}-${Date.now()}.shortcut`);
    return `
      const app = Application.currentApplication();
      app.includeStandardAdditions = true;
      app.doShellScript('shortcuts export "${escJxaShell(name)}" -o "${tempFile}" && shortcuts import "${tempFile}"');
      app.doShellScript('rm -f "${tempFile}"');
      JSON.stringify({original: '${esc(name)}', duplicate: '${esc(newName)}', success: true});
    `;
  }
