Arranging and sizing app windows?

I’m very new to shortcuts but excited to learn to make my own.

I do a weekly review at the end of each workweek. On my Mac, I open my calendar, notes and tasks and go through everything. I’ve successfully made a shortcut opening two apps in Split View. With 3 apps, though, I’d like to open 2 of them on a quarter of the screen each, and one filling the other half. Is it possible to set this up in shortcuts so I don’t have to manually arrange and resize the windows every time?

This shortcut stores the name of applications as the key and the resize configurations as the value in a dictionary. For each entry, it opens the apps and resizes the windows as configured. A delay is added as the UI sometimes fails to catch up. There’s also a bug where the bottom edge can’t be reached. Not sure if it’s the OS or my environment. Hope it works for you.

edit: spelling

Thanks, I’m going to look into it to see how it all works!
