clipboard-tool - System clipboard bridge

Use this skill when the user explicitly wants text copied to or read from the local clipboard.

Workflow

1. Use clipboard reads only when the user asks or it is clearly part of the task.
2. Avoid putting secrets on the clipboard unless explicitly requested.
3. Prefer file artifacts for large content; use clipboard for short snippets.

Script

Pitfalls

• Clipboard contents may be visible to other local applications.
• Linux requires wl-copy/wl-paste, xclip, or xsel.
