System clipboard — copy, paste, transform content between clipboard and files.

  • SKILL.md covers Commands, Linux Equivalents and Guidelines
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

C Clipboard is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. System clipboard — copy, paste, transform content between clipboard and files.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/c-clipboard”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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

C Clipboard loads about 354 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 78 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~354

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.

Clipboard — Copy & Paste

Read from and write to the system clipboard. Built into macOS, no install needed.

Commands

bash
# Read clipboard contents
pbpaste

# Copy text to clipboard
echo "hello world" | pbcopy

# Copy file contents to clipboard
pbcopy < /path/to/file.txt

# Save clipboard to file
pbpaste > /path/to/output.txt

# Copy command output to clipboard
ls -la | pbcopy
date | pbcopy

# Transform clipboard content
pbpaste | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' | pbcopy    # uppercase
pbpaste | sort | pbcopy                            # sort lines
pbpaste | wc -w                                    # word count

# Copy with no trailing newline
printf "%s" "exact text" | pbcopy

Linux Equivalents

bash
# If on Linux, use xclip or xsel
xclip -selection clipboard           # copy (pipe into)
xclip -selection clipboard -o        # paste

Guidelines

  • When the user says "copy this" or "put this in my clipboard", use pbcopy
  • When the user says "what's in my clipboard?" or "paste", use pbpaste
  • For transformations, pipe pbpaste through the transform and back to pbcopy
  • Always confirm what was copied with a brief summary
  • Never display clipboard contents unless asked — they may contain sensitive data
