An IT or platform team that lives in admin consoles, and the person who decides how the rest of the company gets its links. Wyrd helps twice: a keyword set for the team itself, and preset lists for everyone, set with Chrome policy.
What is in it
18 keywords in 4 categories. The ones marked your address are for your own page: the template cannot know where yours are. Type >, Space, then the keyword; a keyword with %s in its address takes words after it.
| Type | Opens | Category |
|---|---|---|
> gadmin | Google Admin console | Consoles |
> m365 | Microsoft 365 admin center | Consoles |
> entra | Microsoft Entra admin center: users, groups and sign-ins | Consoles |
> intune | Microsoft Intune admin center: devices | Consoles |
> azure | Azure portal | Consoles |
> aws | AWS Management Console | Consoles |
> cve | A vulnerability by its CVE ID, in the US National Vulnerability Database | Look-ups |
> dns | A domain’s DNS records (Google Public DNS) | Look-ups |
> policies | Chrome Enterprise policy list | Look-ups |
> ticket | A helpdesk ticket by number your address | Service desk |
> queue | The team’s ticket queue your address | Service desk |
> asset | Find a device in the asset inventory your address | Service desk |
> reset | Self-service password reset: the page to send people to your address | Service desk |
> runbook | Search the runbooks your address | Operations |
> oncall | Who is on call your address | Operations |
> status | The company status page your address | Operations |
> changes | The change calendar your address | Operations |
> admin | Another name for gadmin | Consoles |
Use it yourself
With Wyrd installed, Load in Wyrd opens Wyrd’s Keyword tools with this set filled in. Nothing is added until you tick the ones you want, fill in any missing addresses, and press Add.

Share it as a list
To give everyone the same keywords, keep them in one shared list that Wyrd reads for everyone: change an address once, and it changes for all of them.
- Download the list template (CSV) and import it into a new Google Sheet (File → Import).
- Replace every
example.comaddress with your own, and delete the rows you do not need. Add your own rows the same way: keyword, address, description, category. - Subscribe in Wyrd (Shared lists → paste the sheet’s address), then send the others an invite link. The list’s short name is
it, so> it/gadminalways reaches it, even if someone has a keyword of their own with the same name.
The whole set-up, step by step: set up a shared list. The file format: shared lists in the docs.
Roll it out to everyone with Chrome policy
If your organisation manages Chrome (Google Admin console, Group Policy or a configuration profile), set Wyrd’s SharedLists policy and every managed browser gets the company-wide lists, marked “Set by your organisation”, without anyone subscribing by hand. People cannot remove a preset list, and their own keywords still win over it.
- A preset list must be readable without a sign-in: a Google Sheet published to the web as CSV, a file in a public GitHub repository, or a file on an intranet server that does not ask for a login.
- Each person allows the list’s site once in Chrome; tell people to open Shared lists after the rollout.
- It is a policy for Wyrd, not a new permission: installing or updating Wyrd shows no extra warning.
The policy, its fields and an example: preset lists with Chrome policy.
Make it yours
- Keep the IT team’s own list separate from the company-wide list everyone gets, each under its own short name: it/queue then always reaches yours.
- Keep the most sensitive consoles as your own keywords rather than in a shared list: a personal keyword cannot be overridden by any list.
- Give the consoles you open fifty times a day one-letter keywords: Keyword tools shows which letters are free.
- Put reset and status in the company-wide list too: the two links the service desk sends most.
