Temp Output Clipboard

Follow this workflow whenever generating text output.

Workflow

1. Determine format.

• Use Markdown (md) by default.
• If the user explicitly requests another format, use that format.

2. Generate the final text content.

3. Save the content to /tmp, copy to clipboard, and get the file path:

cat <<'EOF' | <skill-dir>/scripts/save_output_and_copy.sh --format <format>
<generated text>
EOF

• Omit --format to keep default Markdown.
• The script prints the created file path to stdout.
• Run this step in an environment that has real system clipboard access.

4. Return the result.

• Include the generated text unless the user asks for path-only output.
• Include the file path returned by the script.
• If clipboard copy is unavailable, mention the warning and still provide the file path.

Execution Environment

• Execute scripts/save_output_and_copy.sh from a normal local shell session when clipboard behavior matters.
• Avoid restricted or isolated runtimes for clipboard verification (for example: sandboxes, CI runners, or locked-down containers), because clipboard commands may succeed without updating the host clipboard.
• If restricted execution is unavoidable, treat file creation as authoritative and report clipboard copy as best-effort.

Format Rules

• Default format: md.
• Map common requests to extensions:
  • markdown -> md
  • text or plain -> txt
  • yaml -> yml
  • bash or shell -> sh
• If the user provides a specific extension, use it directly.

Script

• Resolve the skill directory from the loaded skill path, then call scripts/save_output_and_copy.sh with an absolute path.
• Clipboard command priority:
  1. pbcopy
  2. wl-copy
  3. xclip
  4. xsel
  5. clip.exe
  6. powershell.exe with Set-Clipboard
