Claude AppleScript and Shortcuts Hybrid Pack for Mac

Screen clicking is fragile. AppleScript is deterministic. The Hybrid Pack gives Claude the scripts to run instead of clicking — faster execution, zero misclicks, and results you can reproduce every time. Includes a decision tree for knowing exactly when to script versus when to let Claude use the screen.

What You Get

• 15 AppleScript Templates — Production-ready scripts for Finder (file sorting, batch rename), Mail (draft creation, search and extract), Calendar (event creation, weekly export), Notes (template creation, export to markdown), Safari (bookmark export, tabs to markdown), and system utilities (info audit, window layout, contacts export, reminders, text transforms).
• 10 Shortcuts Workflows — macOS Shortcuts for morning setup, end-of-day cleanup, screenshot organization, meeting prep, quick note capture, file sharing, daily standup generation, focus sessions, invoice creation, and project backup.
• The Hybrid Prompt Pattern — The exact prompt suffix that tells Claude to prefer scripts over clicking. Copy-paste it into any prompt to get deterministic execution on scriptable steps.
• Decision Tree — A visual guide showing when to use AppleScript (app has scripting support, task is repetitive, precision matters), when to use Shortcuts (multi-step workflows, system-level operations), and when screen control is the right choice (no API, visual judgment required, one-off tasks).

How to Use

1. Read the decision tree to understand which approach fits your task.
2. Find the relevant AppleScript or Shortcut template.
3. Start a Claude session with the hybrid prompt pattern.
4. Claude will write and execute AppleScript for scriptable steps and fall back to screen control only for the gaps.
5. Save working scripts for future reuse — they are deterministic and repeatable.

• Developers familiar with AppleScript or willing to learn
• Anyone frustrated by Claude misclicking buttons in screen control mode
