Apple’s rumored iOS 27 AI shortcut feature hits a wait‑list, but MacStories developer Federico Viticci delivers an immediate alternative. Shortcuts Playground plugs into Claude Code or OpenAI Codex, turning a single sentence into a ready‑to‑upload shortcut.

The plugin sits in the open‑source GitHub repo, where Viticci shares full documentation and code. While Claude or Codex can fix syntax errors, Viticci cautions that AI‑generated shortcuts may still contain mistakes, urging users to review each script.

Installation is simple: link the repo to your chosen AI agent, and the plugin installs automatically. Sample shortcuts include a parked‑car locator and a night‑mode display tweak that also activates Focus. Club MacStories+ members can access the tool as a generative shortcut and deploy it across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Viticci also unveiled a revamped Shortcuts Archive with over 400 pre‑built scripts, expanding the ecosystem for users who want instant automation without coding from scratch.
