When you want to clean and reformat content (usually from your terminal) for pasting into Slack, Notion, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, email, GitHub, or plain text. Strips ANSI codes, box-drawing chars, terminal prompt artifacts, and applies destination-specific formatting. Default input is the system clipboard; default output is both the clipboard and a chat preview. Triggers on "/paste", "/paste [destination]", "clean this for X," "format for slack/notion/twitter/linkedin/email/github…
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
# /paste — Clean content for any destination Cleans terminal output (ANSI, box-drawing, prompt artifacts, etc.) and reformats per destination rules. Reads clipboard by default, writes back to clipboard + previews in chat. ## Step 1 — Get the content In order: 1. If the user included content in the prompt (pasted, or referenced from earlier in the conversation), use that. 2. Else, read the clipboard (commands below). 3. If both empty, ask the user what to paste. **Clipboard commands by platform** (read / write): | Platform | Read | Write | |---|---|---| | macOS | `pbpaste` | `pbcopy < "$f"` | | Linux (Wayland) | `wl-paste -n` | `wl-copy < "$f"` | | Linux (X11) | `xclip -selection clipboard -o` | `xclip -selection clipboard < "$f"` | | Windows | `powershell Get-Clipboard -Raw` | `powershell "Get-Content -Raw '$f' \| Set-Clipboard"` | `$f` is the temp file from the write procedure in Step 6. Always copy from a file, never from a heredoc or `echo`. No clipboard (a remote, headless, or chat-bot agent): skip the clipboard, take content from the prompt, and return the cleaned text in a code fence. ## Step 2 — Parse destination | Invocation | Destination | |---|---| …

How to install
mdr add coreyhaines31/makerskills/paste@sha256:833382a7c4445ebfThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.0, 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.
