using-wpf-clipboard

using-wpf-clipboard is a skill for Claude Code from christian289/dotnet-with-claudecode. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,695 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to using the Windows clipboard from WPF applications. It covers copying and pasting text, images, files, and application-defined data formats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add copy and paste, transfer images or file lists, support Unicode, HTML, or RTF text, and read or write custom clipboard data.
Why use it?
It removes the need to design clipboard handling from scratch and helps applications exchange data with other programs in suitable formats.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

using-wpf-clipboard 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 11d 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.

WPF Clipboard Patterns

Implementing copy/paste functionality using the Windows clipboard.

Advanced Patterns: See ADVANCED.md for clipboard monitoring and error handling.

1. Clipboard Overview

Clipboard Operations
├── Text Operations
│   ├── SetText / GetText
│   └── Unicode, RTF, HTML support
├── Image Operations
│   ├── SetImage / GetImage
│   └── BitmapSource support
├── File Operations
│   ├── SetFileDropList / GetFileDropList
│   └── File path collection
└── Custom Data
    ├── SetData / GetData
    └── DataObject with multiple formats

2. Text Operations

2.1 Basic Text Copy/Paste

using System.Windows;

// Copy text to clipboard
Clipboard.SetText("Hello, World!");

// Paste text from clipboard
if (Clipboard.ContainsText())
{
    var text = Clipboard.GetText();
    // Use text
}

2.2 Text Formats

// Set text with specific format
Clipboard.SetText("Hello", TextDataFormat.UnicodeText);
Clipboard.SetText("<b>Hello</b>", TextDataFormat.Html);
Clipboard.SetText(@"{\rtf1 Hello}", TextDataFormat.Rtf);

// Get text with specific format
if (Clipboard.ContainsText(TextDataFormat.Html))
{
    var html = Clipboard.GetText(TextDataFormat.Html);
}

TextDataFormat Options:

Value Description
Text ANSI text
UnicodeText Unicode text (default)
Rtf Rich Text Format
Html HTML format
CommaSeparatedValue CSV format

3. Image Operations

3.1 Copy/Paste Images

using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;

// Copy image to clipboard
var bitmap = new BitmapImage(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Images/logo.png"));
Clipboard.SetImage(bitmap);

// Paste image from clipboard
if (Clipboard.ContainsImage())
{
    var image = Clipboard.GetImage();
    MyImage.Source = image;
}

3.2 Copy UI Element as Image

using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;

public static void CopyElementAsImage(FrameworkElement element)
{
    var width = (int)element.ActualWidth;
    var height = (int)element.ActualHeight;

    var renderBitmap = new RenderTargetBitmap(
        width, height, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Pbgra32);

    renderBitmap.Render(element);
    Clipboard.SetImage(renderBitmap);
}

Changes

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.
