# Copy to Clipboard
Copies the most recent output (or specified content) to the clipboard in the right format for the user's target.
## Steps
1. **Ask the user** (unless they already specified): "Where is this going? (slack / md / plain)"
2. **Format based on target:**
**`slack`** — Slack uses `mrkdwn`, NOT Markdown. Convert:
- `*bold*` (not `**bold**`)
- `_italic_` (not `*italic*`)
- `~strikethrough~` (not `~~strikethrough~~`)
- `*HEADING*` on its own line (no `#` headings)
- No markdown tables — use code-block ASCII tables (triple backtick) or bullet lists
- `<url|text>` links (not `[text](url)`)
- Code: single backtick for inline, triple backtick for blocks (same as markdown)
**`md`** — Clean GitHub-Flavored Markdown:
- Tables, headings, links all standard GFM
- No hard wraps, no gutter artifacts, no line-number prefixes
**`plain`** — No formatting at all:
- Strip all markup
- Use indentation and whitespace for structure
3. **Copy to clipboard** using the platform tool:
- macOS: `pbcopy`
- Linux: `xclip -selection clipboard` or `xsel --clipboard`
- Windows/WSL: `clip.exe`
4. **Confirm** with a one-line message: "Copied (slack/md/plain) — N lines"
## Notes
- If the user says just "copy that" or "clip" without a target, always ask.
- If they say "copy for slack" or "slack copy", skip the question — target is `slack`.
- If they say "copy" with no prior output to copy, ask what they want copied.
