Skill0 starsChanged 39 days agoMITView on GitHub

Fetch the image (or text) on the user's Mac clipboard while working over SSH, and look at it. Use when the user types /clip, says "I copied a screenshot", "look at my clipboard", or refers to an image they copied on their local Mac.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 8 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Run clip (or clip text if they asked for text).

    line 10

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 8 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

clip

The user is connected to this machine over SSH. Their clipboard lives on their Mac and is reachable through a tunnel via the clip command (clip-over-ssh).

  1. Run clip (or clip text if they asked for text). It prints the path of a PNG under /tmp/clip/.
  2. Open that path as an image (Read tool in Claude Code, view_image in Codex) and treat it as if the user had pasted it.
  3. Continue with whatever the user asked alongside /clip, using the image as context. If they asked nothing, describe it briefly and ask what to do.

To send something back to the user's Mac clipboard: echo "..." | clip copy.

Errors:

  • "no tunnel": the SSH session from the Mac lacks RemoteForward 127.0.0.1:47777 127.0.0.1:47777, or clipd is not running on the Mac. Ask the user to reconnect, or run on the Mac: ssh -O forward -R 127.0.0.1:47777:127.0.0.1:47777 <host>.
  • "has no image": ask the user to copy the screenshot (Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4) and try again.
  • "token rejected": ask the user to run ./install.sh remote <host> again on their Mac.
