# Reader

Make your document reader’s actions available in the Shortcuts app by adopting schemas for document viewing and manipulation.

## Discussion

The `.reader` domain defines app schemas that provide a
structured representation for common document reading actions and content.
Apply schemas in the `.reader` domain to make your document reader’s functionality available as actions in the Shortcuts app.
Schemas in this domain don’t make your conforming types discoverable by Apple Intelligence and Siri.

> Tip: Xcode generates a template implementation when you type `reader_` and select a schema from the suggestions list.

For more information about app schemas, see [App schema domains](/documentation/AppIntents/app-schema-domains).
