Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.02208 | $0.02208 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01104 | $0.01104 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00442 | $0.00442 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00221 | $0.00221 |
Grade A, and why
clippy CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 216 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Claude AI Context File
This file contains context and memory for Claude AI when working on the clippy project.
CRITICAL: Never Credit Yourself
NEVER add Claude credits to commits, code, or any project files. This includes:
- No "Generated with Claude Code" messages
- No "Co-Authored-By: Claude" in commits
- No mentions of AI assistance in code or documentation
- Keep all contributions attribution-free
CRITICAL: Never Do Manual Release Steps
NEVER manually publish releases, edit releases, or do one-off fixes. The goal is ALWAYS a repeatable automated process. This includes:
- No
gh release editcommands to fix drafts - No manual edits to published releases
- No manual updates to Homebrew taps
- No workarounds - FIX THE AUTOMATION
- The goal is THE PROCESS, not getting a single release out
Project Overview
Clippy is a macOS clipboard tool that bridges the gap between terminal file operations and GUI applications. It includes:
- clippy: Smart clipboard copying tool
- pasty: Intelligent clipboard pasting tool
Recent Major Features
Recent Downloads Functionality (v0.8.0+)
- Added
--recentflag to clippy command (removed from pasty for better separation of concerns) - Interactive picker using Bubble Tea library (replaced promptui for better multi-select support)
- Simplified
-rbehavior:-ralone copies the most recent download (no picker)-r 3copies the 3 most recent downloads-r 5mcopies all downloads from last 5 minutes-rishows interactive picker (can combine with numbers/durations)
- Multi-select support in picker: Space to toggle, Enter to copy, p to copy & paste
- Removed
--batchflag (behavior integrated into numbered copies) - Time-based filtering (e.g.,
-r 5m,-r 1h) - macOS Downloads folder detection with smart archive handling
- Separate
--debugand--verboseflags for better UX - Config option
absolute_time = truefor absolute timestamps in picker
Key Implementation Details
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

clippy CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository neilberkman/clippy (245 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 2,208 tokens to every session, about $0.0110 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
