name	drafts
effort	low
description	Content exchange with the user via the Drafts app (macOS) using the `drafts` CLI. Default destination is Drafts; override to clipboard only when the user explicitly says "pbcopy", "clipboard", or "to clipboard". Drafts triggers: "copy it", "give it to me", "send it to me", "give me a draft", "send to drafts", "read it back", "what does it say", "pull from drafts", "get the draft", or /drafts. Primary method for delivering substantive content to the user.

Drafts

Content exchange between Claude and the user via the drafts CLI on macOS.

Write to Drafts (default)

Create a new draft, tagged so the user can filter Claude-generated content:

drafts create "CONTENT HERE" --tag claude

Confirm: "Sent to Drafts."

Read from Drafts

Read the currently open draft on the user's Mac:

drafts current

If the user references a draft by description rather than what's open, search:

drafts --json search "QUERY"

If drafts current returns empty, ask the user to open the draft on their Mac.

Iterating on a draft

When the user wants to refine an existing draft, capture the UUID from the read and update in place rather than creating a new one:

drafts update <uuid> "REVISED CONTENT"

Write to clipboard (explicit override only)

Only when the user explicitly says "pbcopy", "clipboard", or "to clipboard":

printf '%s' "CONTENT HERE" | pbcopy

Confirm: "Copied to clipboard."

Behavior

• When the user asks to send/copy/give content, identify the most recent draft or content from the conversation and write it.
• When the user asks to read back or check edits, read from Drafts and display the content.
• During iterative editing sessions, read back automatically when the user indicates they made changes.
• Default to Drafts. Only use pbcopy when the user explicitly names "clipboard" or "pbcopy".
• Always tag Claude-created drafts with claude.
