| description | Share iCloud Drive files using the iOS Shortcut "Instant Share." Trigger this skill when the user mentions file-sharing actions such as "share a file," "transfer a file," "send a file," "share with xxx," "share using a Shortcut," or "send a file from the backup." Supports passing any file path under the iCloud Drive backup directory to the Shortcut. |
Share Files, "Instant Share" Shortcut
Shortcut link: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/c0cd9fbdc42149c3b98e4f9fcb103011
Core Principles
- No processing and no checks: Do not unzip, list contents, inspect file types, or confirm that the file exists. Go directly to the sharing workflow.
- File path: The source file is mapped in iCloud to
<mounts>/iCloud/Instant Share/. Pass the parameter as Instant Share/<filename> (a relative path, not an absolute path).
Workflow
A. Speed Test (Use the cached memory first)
memory_get(keywords="iperf3 Speed Test: Upload Speed")
- If a record exists and is less than 24 hours old, use the
upload_MBs value directly.
- If no record exists or the record has expired, run:
iperf3 -c ping.online.net -t 3 --json 2>/dev/null | python3 -c "import sys,json;d=json.load(sys.stdin);bps=d['end']['sum_sent']['bits_per_second'];print(f'{bps/8000000:.2f}')"
The output is in MB/s (megabytes per second). Write it to memory immediately:
memory_write(content="## Speed Cache\n- upload_MBs: <Value> (<Date>)\n- Valid for 24 hours")
B. Copy the File (If Needed) and Calculate the Time
If the file is not under <mounts>/iCloud/Instant Share/:
cp <Source file path> <mounts>/iCloud/Instant Share/<filename>
Calculate the parameter suffix:
- From another iCloud directory →
--0Second
- From an external source such as attachments →
--<ceil(file_size_MB / upload_MBs * 1.2)>Second (add a 20% buffer to handle network fluctuations)
C. Invoke the Shortcut
apple-open "shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=%E6%9E%81%E9%80%9F%E5%88%86%E4%BA%AB&input=text&text=%E6%9E%81%E9%80%9F%E5%88%86%E4%BA%AB/<filename>--<time>Second"
User Feedback
"The Shortcut has started. When it finishes, the link will be copied to the clipboard automatically. You can paste and send it directly."
