SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Copying Claude's latest assistant response into another app often carries over the original formatting (the ⏺ bullet and 2-space indent) and may not be suitable for paste targets. This skill automates cleaning that output and formatting it for the intended destination (Markdown, Slack, plain text, or HTML) by placing the result on the macOS clipboard.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Grab the most recent assistant message in the conversation and clean it for pasting.
  • Run through the bundled reformatter located in scripts/reformat.py to produce the requested format.
  • Copy the cleaned result to the macOS clipboard for quick pasting into docs, chat apps, or emails.

Quick Start

Invoke the clip command (e.g., '/clip slack') and paste the result where you need it.
