Mac Terminal Script

technically, you don't need to any specific extension, just do it as a bash or sh script:
cut here:
--------
#!/usr/sh
(whatever you want to do)

save it as .sh (not 100% required)
make sure you also make it +x, probably chdmo u+x myfile.sh
You also may want to consult the Launcher.app readme (under utilities), invoking Launcher.app brings it up.
