What is the Shortcut Setup skill used for?

It configures the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows Claude to communicate with your Shortcut workspace for task and story management.

Which other skills depend on this setup?

This skill is a prerequisite for using the shortcut-publisher, shortcut-summarizer, and shortcut-demo-planner skills.

Why aren't my Shortcut tools appearing after setup?

You must restart Claude Code after editing your mcp.json file to ensure the new MCP server is properly loaded into the environment.

Do I need to run this setup every time I use Claude?

No, this is a one-time configuration. Once the MCP server is added to your configuration file, it will be available in all future sessions.

Where can I find my Shortcut API token?

You can generate a new token by navigating to your Shortcut account settings under the 'API Tokens' section.
