Should we add cask to this. Or have a second script for cask?

[johnlindquist]

I can add a "cask" tab so we could toggle between the two. Sound good?

[capitalist]

Yes. I wasn't asking you to do it - I'm willing to do the work and just wanted to know which way you'd prefer to see it.

I don't want to come across as one of those entitled open source users - I love Script Kit and want to be helpful.

Oh, I didn't read it that way at all. 🙂

The scripts are meant to be "tweak able"/forked to everyone's specific workflow. It's one of my favorite things about Script Kit 😇
