Flags

- `--org` limit to an org
- `--refresh` force a refresh, otherwise refreshes if 30m stale

Notes:

- Other ideas for widgets:
  - security alerts
  - new discussions
  - discussion responses
  - releases
- gray for greeting, time
- dynamic color for last sync value -- green for under 10m, yellow for 10-20m stale, red otherwise
- bold for section headers
- purple for line delimiters
- Automation health
  - checks + actions
- I'd love for this to be customizable
  - honestly i don't think this feature is worth much if it isn't
  - issue label priorities: ie, `bug` or `p1` or whatever should be highly visible
  - customizable sections (toggle a set list on/off)
  - all the way version:
    - label it
    - make a query with `gh`
    - set how many things should be shown
    - re-use go templating support?
  - i find this exciting even though it will be a fair bit of work
  - i'm imagining widget sizes:
    - full width
    - 1/3
    - 1/2
- next steps:
  - mock up smaller window examples
  - hack on a prototype for making this be user customizable with dynamic widgets

shortcut.txt

Between Mislav's observation that we might want to start with standalone commands that can render what might be shown in a "widget" and @brianlovin 's pointing out of the mobile Shortcut features, I took a wild stab at what this kind of flow could look like in the CLI:

```bash
gh shortcut list

cli-triage
personal-stuff
cli-auto

gh sc cli-auto

`gh sc` is a shortcut for invoking a shortcut by name; `gh shortcut` provides CRUD for shortcuts.

questions:

- is this leaning to heavily on survey interaction?
- is this a useful on-ramp to creating a dashboard-like experience?
- does this satisfy both human needs ("what do i want to work on?") as well as machine needs?
- is this redundant with, say, `gh alias` + `gh api`? is it worth a whole new namespace?

<3 this is so nice
