## Description

This project is a collection of AppleScript terminal automation scripts designed to bridge a keyboard-focused launcher with a terminal emulator on macOS. It functions as a terminal session manager that programmatically creates windows and executes shell commands.

The scripts specifically integrate a productivity launcher with iTerm2, routing commands from the launcher interface into active terminal windows and tabs. This enables the automation of terminal workflows and the execution of complex command line tasks to reduce repetitive typing.

The system covers macOS system automation, including session-aware window management and inter-process command routing.
