Copy

Copy text to the user's clipboard via pbcopy.

Two Modes

1. Quick copy: /copy (no arguments)

Copies the most recent substantive text output (message, code, draft, etc.) to the clipboard as plain text. No questions asked.

2. Formatted copy: /copy for whatsapp or with any destination hint

Copies with destination-specific formatting:

• for whatsapp - converts markdown to WhatsApp formatting (see table below)
• No destination specified - plain text (strip all markdown markers)

Also activates on natural language: "copy that", "clip that", "copy to clipboard", "send to clipboard".

How to Copy

pbcopy <<'EOF'
YOUR TEXT HERE
EOF

Always use a single-quoted heredoc (<<'EOF'). Handles apostrophes, $, quotes, backslashes, unicode, and emojis safely.

Behavior

• Always confirm with "Copied to clipboard" after copying.
• When WhatsApp formatting is applied, add: "Formatted for WhatsApp - paste into WhatsApp for best results."
• Default to plain text. Strip markdown markers (**, *, _, #, >, `) and render links as "text (url)". Exception: if the user asks to copy code or markdown literally, preserve as-is.
• Keep messages in Adam's voice (first person "I", never "we").
