What is cc-clip CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for cc-clip, a tool that sends clipboard images and notifications between a local computer and a remote Linux server over SSH. They explain separate clipboard paths for Claude Code and Codex CLI.

Use them when working on clipboard transfer, remote image pasting, X11 bridges, SSH forwarding, Claude Code hooks, or native notifications.

They help a coding agent understand the project's data flow and architecture before changing the clipboard, SSH, notification, or remote-session code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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 5.1	$0.05905	$0.05905
Opus 5.5	$0.02362	$0.02362

Security

Grade C, and why

cc-clip CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 3 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 27d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

`token.Manager` holds the session in memory. `LoadOrGenerate(ttl)` reuses an unexpired token from disk, or generates a new one. Token file at `~/.cache/cc-clip/session.token` (chmod 600) stores `token\nexpires_at_rfc3339

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What This Project Does

cc-clip bridges your local Mac/Windows clipboard to a remote Linux server over SSH, so Ctrl+V image paste works in remote Claude Code and Codex CLI sessions. It uses an xclip/wl-paste shim that transparently intercepts only Claude Code's clipboard calls, an X11 selection owner bridge for Codex CLI which reads the clipboard via X11 directly, and an SSH notification bridge that forwards Claude Code hook events (stop, permission prompt, idle) back to the local machine as native notifications.

Claude Code path:
  Local Mac clipboard → pngpaste → HTTP daemon (127.0.0.1:18339) → SSH RemoteForward → xclip shim → Claude Code

Codex CLI path (--codex):
  Local Mac clipboard → pngpaste → HTTP daemon (127.0.0.1:18339) → SSH RemoteForward → x11-bridge → Xvfb CLIPBOARD → arboard → Codex CLI

Notification path:
  Claude Code hook → cc-clip plugin run claude-notify (stdin JSON) → POST /notify via tunnel → classifier → dedup → DeliveryChain → native notification
  (fallback when the settings.json merge fails: Claude Code hook → cc-clip-hook → same POST /notify)

Build & Test Commands

make build                          # Build binary with version from git tags
make test                           # Run all tests (go test ./... -count=1)
make vet                            # Run go vet
go test ./internal/tunnel/ -v -run TestFetchImageRoundTrip  # Single test
make release-local                  # Build bare binaries for all platforms (dist/), local testing only

Version is injected via -X main.version=$(VERSION) ldflags. The version variable in cmd/cc-clip/main.go defaults to "dev".

Release Process

Production releases use goreleaser via GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/release.yml). Push a version tag to trigger:

git tag v0.6.0
git push origin v0.6.0
# CI runs: test → contract check → goreleaser → published release with tar.gz + checksums

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.

cc-clip CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ShunmeiCho/cc-clip (180 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,905 tokens to every session, about $0.0236 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (asks for root, reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
