Workflow variables

The script forwards four variables to Alfred that can be used in subsequent workflow actions:

• proposal_id (e.g. "SE-0304")
• proposal_title ("Structured concurrency")
• proposal_status ("Implemented")
• proposal_url ("https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals/0304-structured-concurrency.md")

If you want to customize the workflow for your needs, you can use these variables in your actions. Refer to the "Copy Markdown link" action for an example.
