Requires the [AgentStack CLI](https://agentstack.voostack.com/docs/cli). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent.

## About

# /yank

Copy text to your system clipboard.

## Usage

- `/yank Some text` — yank the argument
- `/yank` — offer to yank from recent context (last code block, etc.)
- After generating a prompt or snippet — offer to yank it (ask first!)

## How It Works

Claude Code injects `Platform:` into your context automatically. Use the matching command:

| Platform | Command |
|----------|---------|
| `darwin` | `pbcopy` |
| `linux` | `xclip -selection clipboard` or `wl-copy` (Wayland) |
| WSL | `clip.exe` |

**Single line:**
```bash
echo 'text' | pbcopy
```

**Multi-line:**
```bash
cat <<'EOF' | pbcopy
line one
line two
EOF
```

## Rules

1. **Ask first** — never overwrite the clipboard without permission
2. **Confirm** — say "Yanked to clipboard." when done
3. **No clipboard?** — on headless/SSH, offer to write to a file instead
