<posts query="related" count="5">
Notes
Using the "related" keyword as query will fetch related posts.
You can use custom WP_Query arguments programmatically by using the csc_posts_query filter. Argument 2 of that filter will contain the shortcode's arguments which can be used to identify which instance of the shortcode it is.
<posts id="custom">
add_filter('csc_posts_query', function($query, $args) {
	if(isset($args['id']) && $args['id'] === 'custom') {
		return [
			'category__in' => [2, 6],
			'posts_per_page' => 3,
		];
	}
	return $query;
}, 10, 2);
<posts items query="posts_per_page=3&ignore_sticky_posts=1" header_text="Header shown when there are posts" header_classes="large dividing">
<posts items query="posts_per_page=3&cat=123123" header_text="Header not shown because there are no posts">
Notes
Header can be prepended with the header_text argument for only when there are results.
Wrapper: content before/after
<posts items query="posts_per_page=3&ignore_sticky_posts=1" content_before="{lt}div class='ui primary segment'{gt}" content_after="{lt}/div{gt}">
<posts items query="posts_per_page=3&cat=123123" content_before="{lt}div class='ui primary segment'{gt}" content_after="{lt}/div{gt}">
Notes
You can specify before and after content to wrap the posts in something. The wrapper elements won't be displayed when there are no posts.
That way there won't be an empty container when there are no related posts for example.
<posts three column internally celled stackable grid query="related" count="6" header_text="Related posts" header_classes="large dividing" content_before="{lt}div class='ui segment'{gt}" content_after="{lt}/div{gt}">
Notes
Adding this shortcode to Chap Theme -> Code -> After post content can easily display related posts for all posts.
