Use when reading, writing, or watching the macOS clipboard — NSPasteboard types and multiple representations, the changeCount polling pattern, the transient/concealed pasteboard conventions clipboard tools must respect, and the Sequoia paste-privacy alerts.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# macOS Clipboard & Pasteboard Work with `NSPasteboard` correctly: write rich content with plain-text fallbacks, watch for changes the only way macOS allows (polling `changeCount`), and — if you're building anything clipboard-manager-shaped — respect the concealed/transient conventions that keep passwords out of your history. ## When to use Use this skill when the user says: - clipboard / pasteboard / `NSPasteboard` - copy / paste programmatically - clipboard history / clipboard manager - watch the clipboard / detect copy - paste as plain text - custom pasteboard type / drag-and-drop data type - clipboard privacy / "app pasted from" alert Do not use this skill for iOS (`UIPasteboard` differs in important ways), or for drag-and-drop *UI* mechanics (`onDrag`/`Transferable` view wiring) beyond the data-type layer. ## Core rule ``` Write every flavor the receiver might want, richest first. Read by asking for the best type you can handle. Never clobber, log, or upload the user's clipboard — and never store what a password manager marked concealed. ``` ## Writing …

How to install
mdr add aka-kika/akakika-skills/macos-clipboard-pasteboard@sha256:e78444913ce45f72The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260717.accdb14, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
