The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Your Task

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Copy content from track files to the system clipboard for pasting into Suno or other tools.

Clipboard Skill

Copy specific sections from track files directly to your clipboard.

Step 1: Detect Platform & Check Clipboard Tool

Run detection:

if command -v pbcopy >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "macOS"
elif command -v clip.exe >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  # clip.exe is a built-in Windows utility (System32). Reachable both from WSL
  # via interop and from a native-Windows shell such as Git Bash, so this one
  # branch covers both. Verified on a windows-latest runner: Git Bash present,
  # clip.exe resolved at /c/Windows/system32/clip.exe, copy round-tripped.
  echo "Windows/WSL"
elif command -v xclip >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Linux-xclip"
elif command -v xsel >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Linux-xsel"
else
  echo "NONE"
fi

If NONE:

Error: No clipboard utility found.

Install instructions:
- macOS: pbcopy (built-in)
- Linux: sudo apt install xclip
- Windows (native) and WSL: clip.exe (built-in)

Step 2: Parse Arguments

Expected format: <content-type> <album-name> <track-number>

Content types:

lyrics - Suno Lyrics Box
style - Suno Style Box only
exclude - Suno Exclude Styles field (bare elements, comma-separated — drums, autotune, never "no drums")
streaming-lyrics - Streaming Lyrics (for distributors)
all - All Suno inputs (Style + Exclude + Lyrics combined)
suno - JSON object (title, style, exclude_styles, lyrics) for Suno auto-fill via Tampermonkey

Examples:

/clipboard lyrics sample-album 03
/clipboard style sample-album 05
/clipboard streaming-lyrics sample-album 02
/clipboard all sample-album 01

If arguments are missing:

Usage: /clipboard <content-type> <album-name> <track-number>

Content types: lyrics, style, exclude, streaming-lyrics, all, suno

Example: /clipboard lyrics sample-album 03

Step 3: Extract Content via MCP

Call format_for_clipboard(album_slug, track_slug, content_type) — extracts and formats the requested content in one call.

content_type: "lyrics", "style", "exclude", "streaming", "all", or "suno"
Returns the formatted content ready for clipboard
Handles track resolution, section extraction, and formatting automatically

If track not found: MCP returns an error with available tracks.

Step 6: Copy to Clipboard

Use the detected platform's clipboard command:

Platform	Command
macOS	`pbcopy`
Windows (native) / WSL	`clip.exe`
Linux (xclip)	`xclip -selection clipboard`
Linux (xsel)	`xsel --clipboard --input`

Example (use printf '%s' to safely handle special characters in lyrics):

printf '%s' "$content" | pbcopy  # macOS
printf '%s' "$content" | xclip -selection clipboard  # Linux

Step 7: Confirm

Report:

✓ Copied to clipboard: {content-type} from track {track-number}
  Album: {album}
  Track: {track-filename}

Error Handling

Track file not found:

Error: Track {track-number} not found in album {album}

Available tracks:
- 01-track-name.md
- 02-track-name.md

Content section not found:

Error: {content-type} section not found in track {track-number}

The track file may not have this section yet.

Config missing:

Error: Config not found at ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
Run /configure to set up.

Examples

Copy Suno Lyrics

/clipboard lyrics sample-album 03

Output:

✓ Copied to clipboard: lyrics from track 03
  Album: sample-album
  Track: 03-t-day-beach.md

Copy Style Prompt

/clipboard style sample-album 05

Copy Streaming Lyrics

/clipboard streaming-lyrics sample-album 02

Copy All Suno Inputs

/clipboard all sample-album 01

Output:

✓ Copied to clipboard: all suno inputs from track 01
  Album: sample-album
  Track: 01-intro.md

Contents:
- Style Box
- `Exclude: …` (if the track has Exclude Styles)
- Lyrics Box

Copy Suno Auto-Fill JSON

/clipboard suno sample-album 01

Output:

✓ Copied to clipboard: suno auto-fill JSON from track 01
  Album: sample-album
  Track: 01-intro.md

Clipboard contains JSON with: title, style, exclude_styles, lyrics
Paste into Suno with the Tampermonkey auto-fill script (Ctrl+Shift+V).
See tools/userscripts/README.md for setup.

Implementation Notes

Clipboard Detection:

Check multiple tools in order of preference
clip.exe is built into Windows, so it serves both native Windows (via Git Bash) and WSL (via interop)
If no bash is available at all, PowerShell's Set-Clipboard is an equivalent native fallback (verified working)
Linux users may have either xclip or xsel

Content Extraction:

MCP format_for_clipboard handles all section extraction and formatting
No manual file parsing needed

Multiple Matches:

If track number matches multiple files (shouldn't happen), use the first match
Warn user if directory structure looks wrong
