pi-cp

Slack-ready rich clipboard commands for pi assistant responses.

Copies assistant messages as rich HTML + plain text so they paste with formatting into Slack, docs, email, and other rich-text targets — while still degrading to plain text everywhere else.

How copy works

The markdown of the selected message(s) is converted to HTML with Slack-ish styling and placed on the clipboard as both rich HTML and plain text.

Platform clipboard backends, in order:

• macOS — rich copy via osascript (HTML + plain), falling back to pbcopy.
• Termux — termux-clipboard-set.
• Linux (Wayland) — wl-copy.
• Linux (X11) — xclip, falling back to xsel.
• Final fallback — OSC 52 terminal escape (when the base64 payload is ≤ 100k).

If nothing succeeds, the command reports a copy failure.

Markdown support

A tiny dependency-free renderer handles:

• Fenced code blocks (lang), headings (#/##/###), blockquotes (>)
• Unordered (-/*) and ordered (1./1)) lists, paragraphs
• Inline: `code`, [links](https://…), **bold**, *italic*

HTML is escaped before inline formatting is applied.
