c-clipboard
About
This Claude Skill enables clipboard operations via macOS's built-in `pbcopy` and `pbpaste` commands for copying, pasting, and transforming content between the terminal and system clipboard. It allows you to easily pipe command outputs to the clipboard, read clipboard contents into files or other commands, and apply transformations like sorting or case conversion. Use it for quick terminal-based clipboard management without needing external tools on macOS.
