This is a command line interface for Shortcut, focused on the display and manipulation of stories. With this, you can run custom searches, save them as local workspaces, and recall those workspaces. You can also view full stories, update most attributes on a story, and create brand new stories quickly.

Search through Shorcut stories. Arguments (non-flag/options) will
be passed to Shortcut story search API as search operators. Passing '%self%' as
a search operator argument will be replaced by your mention name. Note that passing search
operators and options (e.g. --owner foobar) will use the options as extra filtering
in the client.

Templating variables:
%id Print ID of story
%t Print title/name of story
%a Print archived status of story
%T Print the team name
%o Print owners of story
%r Print the requester
%l Print labels on story
%u Print URL of story
%epic Print epic of story
%i Print iteration of story
%p Print project of story
%y Print story type

%s Print story state
%c Print story creation timestamp
%updated Print story updated timestamp (if different from created)

Note that the $ string operator in bash is helpful in allowing \t (tab) and \n (newline) literals in the formatting string. Otherwise, you can actually just type a newline character.
The default sorting for stories found is state.position:asc,position:asc, which translates to "sort by associated state position ascending, then by story position ascending within the same state."
