What is Clipboard Manager?
The Clipboard Manager is a specialized utility within the ecosystem of Openclaw Skills designed to solve the problem of volatile clipboard data. It provides a structured way to manage snippets, commands, and text by logging them into a persistent history file located directly in your workspace. This allows for seamless retrieval of previously copied information, transforming the standard clipboard into a searchable database of your recent activity.
Built for developers and power users, this skill integrates directly with the system's native clipboard utilities while providing a unified interface for AI agents. By maintaining a local history in markdown format, it ensures that your data remains human-readable and easy to manage without requiring complex external database dependencies.
Clipboard Manager Use Cases
- Keeping a persistent log of frequently used code snippets or terminal commands for quick recall.
- Searching through historical clipboard data to find specific values, such as API keys or environment variables, copied earlier in a session.
- Switching between multiple pieces of data by restoring specific items from the history back to the system clipboard.
- Auditing clipboard activity during a complex task to track information flow.
How Clipboard Manager Works
- The user issues a command through an AI agent or directly via the terminal to interact with the clipboard.
- The skill executes a core bash script which detects the host operating system to determine the correct system utility to use (e.g., pbcopy for macOS or clip for Windows).
- When saving, the content is appended to a file named clipboard-history.md in the workspace root, complete with a timestamp and index.
- For search or retrieval, the script parses the markdown file to locate the requested index or keyword.
- The results are returned to the user in a clean, formatted response, and can be optionally restored to the system's active clipboard state.
Clipboard Manager Setup
To get started with this skill in your Openclaw Skills environment, ensure you have the necessary system dependencies installed (xclip or xsel for Linux users; Windows and macOS are supported natively).
# No additional installation steps are required beyond placing the skill in your directory.
# Ensure the script has execution permissions:
chmod +x skills/clipboard-manager-1.0.0/scripts/clipboard.sh
