- `SHORTCUT_CREATE_GROUP` — Create group — Creates a new group in the Shortcut system with customizable properties. This endpoint allows you to set up a group with a unique mention name, display name, optional description, and various customization options. Use this when you need to establish a new team, department, or any other collective within your Shortcut workspace. The created group can include members, associated workflows, and visual customizations like color and icon. This endpoint is particularly useful for organizing your Shortcut workspace structure, facilitating team collaboration, and streamlining workflow management. Note that while member and workflow associations can be set during creation, they can also be modified later using separate endpoints.
- `SHORTCUT_CREATE_ITERATION` — Create iteration — The CreateIteration endpoint allows you to create a new Iteration in Shortcut, which represents a time-boxed period for completing a set of stories or tasks. This endpoint is crucial for teams using Agile methodologies, enabling them to plan and track progress over specific time periods. Use this endpoint when setting up sprint cycles, planning releases, or organizing work into manageable timeframes. The endpoint requires essential information such as the Iteration's name and date range, while also offering options to add followers, associate groups, and attach labels for better organization and tracking. It's important to note that while multiple groups can be added via the API, the current web UI only displays one Group association. This endpoint should not be used for modifying existing Iterations; instead, use the dedicated update endpoint for such changes.
- `SHORTCUT_CREATE_LABEL` — Create label — Create Label allows you to create a new Label in Shortcut.
- `SHORTCUT_CREATE_LINKED_FILE` — Create linked file — Create Linked File allows you to create a new Linked File in Shortcut.

## How agents use Shortcut

Inside a Definable workflow, Shortcut is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → Shortcut** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from Shortcut (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → Shortcut** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into Shortcut (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → Shortcut** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via Shortcut (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every Shortcut call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
