SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of preparing an assistant's previous response (or a local file) for manual annotation and resubmission by copying it to the system clipboard with a clear annotation header and guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Exact-source capture: Grabs the immediately preceding assistant message verbatim or reads a specified file path so users annotate the true original content.
  • Annotation-ready prefill: Prepends a standard annotation header that explains annotation syntax and precedence, making review and edits consistent.
  • Cross-platform clipboard support: Uses native clipboard utilities (pbcopy on macOS, xclip on Linux) to place the prefilled text into the user's clipboard for pasting into an editor or chat.
  • Use Case: When you need to annotate a model reply before resubmitting it—copy the model response, open your editor, mark notes inline, and submit the edited version.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I copy an assistant response to the clipboard for annotation?

To copy an assistant response for annotation, the Skill captures the immediately preceding assistant message verbatim, prepends a standard annotation header, and places the text onto your system clipboard using native utilities for pasting into an editor.

What is the best way to prepare model replies for manual review and resubmission?

Preparing model replies for manual review involves copying the exact original response and adding an annotation header that explains syntax and precedence. This prefill approach ensures consistent editing and explicit user sign-off before resubmission.

Can I use the clipboard prefill on Linux and macOS?

Yes, clipboard prefill works on Linux and macOS by using native system clipboard utilities. It supports pbcopy on macOS and xclip on Linux to place the annotated text into your clipboard for immediate use.

Do I need a specific file path to annotate local content instead of the last message?

Yes, you need a specific file path to annotate local content instead of the last message. The Skill can read a specified file directly so you annotate the true original content when a preceding assistant message is not the target.

Why does the annotated reply workflow disable model invocation?

The annotated reply workflow disables model invocation to ensure deterministic local operations. By processing the capture and clipboard prefill locally without calling a model, the text remains an exact verbatim copy for reliable manual annotation.
