Cherri - A Programming Language for Writing Apple Shortcuts as Code

Cherri is a domain-specific language that lets you write Siri Shortcuts as text code and compiles them directly into executable Shortcut files.

• Each action maps 1:1 to a Shortcuts app action, so compiled results can be debugged directly in the Shortcuts app.
• Inspired by Go and Ruby syntax, it offers a CLI, VSCode extension, macOS app, and web Playground.
• It has a built-in type system and type inference, supporting language-level action definitions like enums, optionals, and default values.
• It includes a remote Git repository-based package manager that handles automatic package inclusion and updates.
• File includes, function definitions, and Raw Actions help modularize large Shortcut projects and support long-term maintenance.
• Runtime memory optimization is applied to generate Shortcuts as small as possible.
• Existing Shortcuts can be converted into Cherri code from an iCloud link using the --import= option.
• macOS signing support is included, with HubSign or shortcut-signing-server available as alternatives.
• Installation is available via brew install electrikmilk/cherri/cherri, Nix, or GitHub Releases; it's implemented in Go and licensed under GPL-2.0.
