copy-post-html
Pipe a post draft through pandoc -t html into scripts/pbcopy-html.swift so it lands on the macOS pasteboard as rich text. Pasting into LinkedIn / Google Docs / Notion preserves bold, italics, headings, and lists.
When to use
Run after /linkedin-content:draft-post N — when the user is ready to paste the post into LinkedIn.
User input
$ARGUMENTS
$ARGUMENTS is <post-number> [variant]:
<post-number> — required, integer 1–5.[variant] — optional, one of technical, business, founder. Defaults to business.
Argument parsing
- No argument: Output
"ERROR: Post number required. Usage: /linkedin-content:copy-post-html N [variant]" and STOP.
- Post number not 1–5: Output
"ERROR: Invalid post number '<n>'. Must be 1–5." and STOP.
- Variant not in {technical, business, founder}: Output
"ERROR: Invalid variant '<v>'. Must be technical, business, or founder." and STOP.
Prerequisites
-
The draft file content/posts/post-N/draft-<variant>.md must exist. If missing, output and STOP:
ERROR: Draft not found at content/posts/post-N/draft-<variant>.md
- Run /linkedin-content:draft-post N first to generate it.
-
pandoc must be on PATH. If command -v pandoc returns nothing, output and STOP:
ERROR: pandoc not found on PATH.
- Install with: brew install pandoc
- Or use /linkedin-content:copy-post-text for plain-text copy without pandoc.
Process
Run this single Bash command, substituting N and <variant>:
pandoc content/posts/post-N/draft-<variant>.md -t html | "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/pbcopy-html.swift"
On success, output:
Copied post N (<variant>) to clipboard as HTML. Paste into LinkedIn with Cmd-V — formatting preserved.
If the pipeline exits non-zero, surface the stderr verbatim and STOP.
