Frequently Asked Questions about axiom-app-shortcuts-ref

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement AppShortcutsProvider for instant Siri and Spotlight discovery?▼

App Shortcuts require an AppShortcutsProvider conformance with 3–5 core shortcuts and clear phrases to enable instant system-wide availability. You define AppShortcut entries within the provider to make them discoverable across Siri and Spotlight.

What are App Shortcuts and when do I need them in iOS development?▼

App Shortcuts expose your app's core features to Siri, Spotlight, and the Shortcuts app without requiring user setup. You need them to provide instant system-wide discoverability for key app actions across iOS and macOS.

How do I add parameterized shortcuts and negative phrases to my AppShortcut definitions?▼

You define parameterized shortcuts within your AppShortcut entries to accept dynamic inputs, and specify negative phrases to handle exclusion commands. This enables Siri to understand context and update parameters dynamically during user interactions.

Why are my App Shortcuts not showing up in Spotlight or the Shortcuts app?▼

App Shortcuts may not appear if your AppShortcutsProvider lacks proper AppShortcut definitions or if discovery testing across Siri and Spotlight surfaces is incomplete. Verify your conformance, shortcut definitions, and UI promotion via SiriTipView to ensure visibility.

Does App Shortcuts support dynamic parameter updates and UI promotion?▼

Yes, App Shortcuts support dynamic parameter updates within your AppShortcut definitions and UI promotion using SiriTipView. This ensures shortcuts remain interactive and are visibly promoted to users within your app interface for better discovery.
