This guide is intended primarily for personal use, though it can easily be adapted for shared team environments.
## Naming
Maintain clarity, consistency, and fast Spotlight/Siri access by organizing shortcut names with an optional app prefix.
- $ `[Optional App Name] - [Action-Oriented Command]`
- App Name
- Used when the shortcut is tied directly to a specific app. This helps with quick search, organization, and scalability.
- Action-Oriented Command
- Begins with a verb. Provides a clear, concise description of the shortcut’s purpose.
- Naming Rules
- Capitalize Each Word.
- Use `-` (space, hyphen, space) to separate app from action, even when the app name is a single word, to maintain consistency and avoid ambiguity.
- Start each action with a verb.
- Avoid filler words: omit "my", "the', "a".
- Prioritize clarity over brevity when necessary.
- Tone
- Functional
- Clear
- Direct
- Avoid clever phrasing unless it enhances clarity.
