Shortcut

Shortcut extends your AI assistant with the ability to manage stories on Shortcut.com kanban boards. Use when creating, updating, or listing tasks/stories on Shortcut project management boards. Supports creating stories with descriptions and types (feature/bug/chore), updating story status, and listing active/completed stories. Includes full checklist task management and comment support. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly — and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Shortcut as its underlying capability.

Shortcut works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Shortcut once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.

Shortcut installs like any other MCP skill: drop the folder into `~/.claude/skills/shortcut/` for global access, or `.claude/skills/shortcut/` to keep it scoped to one project. After a quick restart of Claude, you can trigger it explicitly with `/shortcut`, or let the AI decide when it's the right tool for your request.

Shortcut has been installed 2,096 times, making it one of the more actively used skills in the Product Manager category. The install rate suggests it solves a real, recurring need rather than a niche edge case. The source code is open on GitHub — you can inspect it, contribute fixes, or fork it to adapt the skill for your specific setup. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
