agent-pb

Clipboard helper for AI coding agents.

Ask the agent to copy the thing you just produced — a query, shell command, code block, URL, or config — and agent-pb puts the artifact itself on your clipboard.

No selecting. No highlighting. No dragging.

Install

Claude Code (plugin)

/plugin marketplace add ashrocket/agent-pb
/plugin install agent-pb@agent-pb

Codex

Install the bundled skill into your Codex skills directory:

mkdir -p "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/pb"
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ashrocket/agent-pb/main/skills/pb/SKILL.md \
  -o "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/pb/SKILL.md"

This repo already ships the Codex skill at skills/pb/SKILL.md.

Useful Codex usage:

$pb
$pb command
$pb the AQL query
copy that
copy the curl command

In Codex, $pb is the clearest explicit invocation. Natural-language requests also work when the surrounding prompt matches the skill description.

Cursor / Windsurf / Copilot

Copy the portable snippet into your rules file:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ashrocket/agent-pb/main/snippets/pb-rules.md >> .cursorrules

Or manually paste the contents of snippets/pb-rules.md into your .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, or .github/copilot-instructions.md.

Usage

$pb                    # Codex: copies the most recent useful artifact
$pb the curl command   # Codex: copies a specific artifact
/pb                    # slash-style hosts: same behavior
copy that              # natural-language fallback

On Codex, the installed skill is designed to trigger on $pb and natural-language requests like "copy that", "copy the query", or "grab that command". Treat /pb as a compatibility alias for hosts that use slash commands.

Works on macOS (pbcopy), Linux (xclip/wl-copy), and WSL/Windows (clip.exe). Auto-detects your platform. Some hosts may require approval before the agent can write to the system clipboard.

• agent-look — screenshot scanner for Claude. Same philosophy: stop dragging things around.
