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 /var/minis/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 /var/minis/mounts/iCloud/Instant Share/:

cp <Source file path> /var/minis/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"
