name: pilot-clipboard description: > Shared clipboard for quick text and data snippets between agents over Pilot Protocol.

Use this skill when:

You need to share short text snippets or command output between agents
You want a quick copy/paste mechanism across the Pilot network
You need to exchange small data payloads without file transfer

Do NOT use this skill when:

You need to transfer files (use pilot-share instead)
You need to share large datasets (use pilot-dataset instead)
You need persistent storage (use pilot-backup instead) tags:

  local clip_msg=$(cat <<EOF
{"type":"clipboard","content":$(echo "$content" | jq -R -s .),"sender":"$sender"}
EOF
)

  pilotctl --json send-message "$dest" --data "$clip_msg"
