its good and I have a idea!

Maybe make a slider that makes it change a variable,
Also a action that picks up solar activity,
And also the moon, because for some reason it isn't in shortcuts.
Also it would be useful if we had a wait action that could actually type in the number, and also change between seconds and minutes

Should Be OS Included

Absolute necessity for anyone interested in utilizing shortcuts. Apple should include these features by default. Unbelievably great and seamless. Developer deserves 5 stars.

Excellent!

At least on ios26 a restart before being able to see and use the Actions in Shortcuts isn’t necessary.
