What it does

Clipboard is an agent skill from CodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-development. Copy text to clipboard with optional rich formatting. Triggers on "copy to clipboard", "copy that", "pbcopy", "copy formatted", "copy rich text".

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Slack and LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: Practices, protocols, and skills for AI-driven software development. Skills and safety hooks for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, Antigravity, and any agent supporting the… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Copy to clipboard

Example prompts

“copy to clipboard”
“copy that”
“pbcopy”
“/clipboard”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Identify the most recent text block the user wants copied (message, code block, drafted text, etc.)
If ambiguous, ask what to copy
Use single-quoted heredoc delimiters ('CLIPBOARD', 'CLIPBOARD_HTML', 'CLIPBOARD_TEXT') to prevent shell expansion
For rich copy, convert markdown-style content to proper HTML (use , , , /, -, , etc.). Do NOT use for Slack/chat targets — use…
Always provide a plain text fallback alongside HTML
Confirm success after copying, noting whether plain or rich format was used

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25b7b1d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- swift
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Clipboard loads about 816 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~816

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description: Copy text to clipboard with optional rich formatting. Triggers on "copy to clipboard", "copy that", "pbcopy", "copy formatted", "copy rich text".

Clipboard

Copy the most recent relevant text block from the conversation to the macOS system clipboard.

Plain Text Copy (Default)

Use a heredoc to safely handle special characters (quotes, apostrophes, backticks, dollar signs):

bash

cat <<'CLIPBOARD' | pbcopy
<text to copy>
CLIPBOARD

Rich Text Copy (Formatted)

Use when the user wants formatting preserved for pasting into Slack, Word, Google Docs, Notion, etc. Sets both HTML and plain text on the clipboard via Swift, so the receiving app picks the richest format it supports.

Step 1: Write the HTML content to a temp file:

bash

cat <<'CLIPBOARD_HTML' > /tmp/_clipboard_rich.html
<html><body>
<h2>Title</h2>
<p>Paragraph with <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i>.</p>
<ul><li>Item one</li><li>Item two</li></ul>
</body></html>
CLIPBOARD_HTML

Step 2: Write the plain text fallback to a temp file:

bash

cat <<'CLIPBOARD_TEXT' > /tmp/_clipboard_rich.txt
Title

Paragraph with bold and italic.

- Item one
- Item two
CLIPBOARD_TEXT

Step 3: Set clipboard with both HTML and plain text using Swift:

bash

swift -e '
import AppKit

let html = try Data(contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: "/tmp/_clipboard_rich.html"))
let text = try String(contentsOfFile: "/tmp/_clipboard_rich.txt", encoding: .utf8)

let pb = NSPasteboard.general
pb.clearContents()
pb.setData(html, forType: .html)
pb.setString(text, forType: .string)
'

Step 4: Clean up temp files:

bash

rm -f /tmp/_clipboard_rich.html /tmp/_clipboard_rich.txt

When to Use Rich vs Plain

Rich (HTML): User says "copy formatted", "copy as rich text", "copy for Slack/LinkedIn/Word/Docs/Notion", or the content has meaningful formatting (bold, headers, lists, code blocks). This is also the correct way to copy for Slack and LinkedIn — they accept HTML rich text from clipboard and render it with proper formatting (bold, lists, code, etc.). Do NOT use Slack mrkdwn or markdown syntax for clipboard copy — use HTML rich text instead, it works universally.
- ⚠️ Slack does NOT render HTML <table> tags. Tables pasted into Slack appear as a broken mess of text. Instead of <table>, present tabular data as plain-text lines (e.g. Label: value per line, or use <pre> for aligned columns). This also applies to LinkedIn and most chat apps.
Plain: Default for code snippets, terminal output, simple text, or when user says "copy to clipboard" without formatting context

Rules

Identify the most recent text block the user wants copied (message, code block, drafted text, etc.)
If ambiguous, ask what to copy
Use single-quoted heredoc delimiters ('CLIPBOARD', 'CLIPBOARD_HTML', 'CLIPBOARD_TEXT') to prevent shell expansion
For rich copy, convert markdown-style content to proper HTML (use <b>, <i>, <code>, <ul>/<li>, <h1>-<h6>, <pre>, etc.). Do NOT use <table> for Slack/chat targets — use line-per-row text instead.
Always provide a plain text fallback alongside HTML
Confirm success after copying, noting whether plain or rich format was used
