| name | copy-post-text |
| description | Copy a finished LinkedIn post draft to the macOS clipboard as plain UTF-8 text (via pbcopy-text.swift). Use AFTER draft-post N when the user wants the raw markdown on the clipboard with Mathematical Bold/Italic Unicode (U+1D400–U+1D7FF) intact. Use this instead of macOS pbcopy, which mangles 4-byte UTF-8 sequences. |

copy-post-text
Pipe a post draft into scripts/pbcopy-text.swift so it lands on the macOS pasteboard as correctly-encoded UTF-8. Unlike system pbcopy, this preserves Mathematical Bold/Italic characters used as a LinkedIn formatting hack.
When to use
Run after /linkedin-content:draft-post N — when the user wants the raw markdown text on the clipboard, especially if the draft uses Mathematical Bold (𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱) or Italic (𝘐𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤) Unicode characters that macOS pbcopy corrupts.
User input
$ARGUMENTS
$ARGUMENTS is <post-number> [variant]:
<post-number> — required, integer 1–5.[variant] — optional, one of technical, business, founder. Defaults to business.
Argument parsing
- No argument: Output
"ERROR: Post number required. Usage: /linkedin-content:copy-post-text N [variant]" and STOP.
- Post number not 1–5: Output
"ERROR: Invalid post number '<n>'. Must be 1–5." and STOP.
- Variant not in {technical, business, founder}: Output
"ERROR: Invalid variant '<v>'. Must be technical, business, or founder." and STOP.
Prerequisites
The draft file content/posts/post-N/draft-<variant>.md must exist. If missing, output and STOP:
ERROR: Draft not found at content/posts/post-N/draft-<variant>.md
- Run /linkedin-content:draft-post N first to generate it.
Process
Run this single Bash command, substituting N and <variant>:
cat content/posts/post-N/draft-<variant>.md | "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/pbcopy-text.swift"
On success, output:
Copied post N (<variant>) to clipboard as plain UTF-8. Paste anywhere with Cmd-V.
If the pipeline exits non-zero, surface the stderr verbatim and STOP.
Error handling
| Condition | Response |
|---|
| Missing draft file | HARD BLOCK — see Prerequisites |
| Invalid post number / variant | ERROR with usage |
| Script exits non-zero | Surface stderr, STOP |
