Clipboard Paste Skill

This skill enables reading content from the system clipboard when the user's intent suggests they want to access previously copied content.

When to Activate

Use this skill when the user:

• Asks "what's in my clipboard" or "show clipboard contents"
• Says "paste from clipboard" or "read clipboard"
• Mentions "use what I copied" or "the thing I copied"
• Asks to process, analyze, or work with clipboard content
• Says "paste that here" referring to external content

Cross-Platform Clipboard Commands

Detect and use the appropriate clipboard command:

macOS

pbpaste

Linux (Wayland)

wl-paste

Linux (X11)

xclip -selection clipboard -o

WSL

powershell.exe -command "Get-Clipboard"

Platform Detection Pattern

if command -v pbpaste &>/dev/null; then
  pbpaste
elif command -v wl-paste &>/dev/null; then
  wl-paste
elif command -v xclip &>/dev/null; then
  xclip -selection clipboard -o
