FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new story in Shortcut using Claude?

Use the SHORTCUT_CREATE_STORY tool by providing the story name and either a workflow_state_id or project_id. You can also include optional parameters like story_type, estimate, and labels to fully configure the story.

Can I create multiple stories at once?

Yes, use the SHORTCUT_CREATE_MULTIPLE_STORIES tool to batch-create stories. Provide an array of story objects, each containing at least a name, to import multiple items in a single API request.

Why should I use workflow_state_id instead of project_id?

Shortcut is deprecating the Projects feature in favor of workflow-based organization. Using workflow_state_id ensures your automation remains compatible with future platform updates.

How do I find the correct workflow state ID?

Run the SHORTCUT_LIST_WORKFLOWS tool to retrieve a list of all available workflows and their associated state IDs. This allows you to map your natural language requests to the correct internal IDs.

What are the limitations of batch story creation?

Batch creation is limited to 25 stories per request to prevent timeouts. Ensure your batch size remains within this limit for reliable execution.
