# Copy Text to Clipboard

Copy generated text content to clipboard via a timestamped temp file.

## Activation Triggers

- "copy this", "copy to clipboard", "save to clipboard"
- "copy the email", "copy the message", "copy the letter"
- After generating text content when user indicates they want to use it
- "I need to paste this", "put it in clipboard"

## Workflow

1. Identify the text content to copy (from recent generation or user-specified)

2. Write to timestamped temp file:
```bash
tmpfile="/tmp/claude-txt-copy-$(date +%s).txt"
cat > "$tmpfile" << 'EOF'
<content here>
EOF
```

3. Copy to clipboard and remove temp file:
```bash
if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "darwin"* ]]; then
    pbcopy < "$tmpfile"
elif command -v xclip &> /dev/null; then
    xclip -selection clipboard < "$tmpfile"
elif command -v xsel &> /dev/null; then
    xsel --clipboard --input < "$tmpfile"
else
    echo "No clipboard tool found" >&2
fi
rm -f "$tmpfile"
```

4. Confirm to user: "Copied to clipboard (N characters)"

## Notes

- Use `cat` with heredoc and single-quoted EOF to preserve exact content
- Temp file uses timestamp to avoid collisions across invocations
- Temp file is removed after clipboard copy
