ctrl-clip

⧉ Copy a message to the system clipboard cleanly formatted — no blockquote pipes, no terminal bars, no Claude commentary. Use whenever you draft a message the user will paste (Slack, Teams, PR comment, email) to add a clickable "⧉ ctrl + click" copy link under it, and when the user says "/ctrl-clip", "copy that", "put it on the clipboard" (in any language). Optional argument picks the target format: slack (default), md, plain.

Quality

Content

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, highly actionable skill body with concrete commands, exact output formats, and error-recovery paths for both the on-demand copy workflow and the drafting-time copy link. The only deductions are minor: a short background-rationale paragraph that could be trimmed or moved, and slightly loose signposting between the two procedures.

Suggestions

Trim or move the 'Why file://' paragraph (lines about TUI schemes, xdg-open, MIME registration) to a reference file, keeping only the operative rule: always use file:// links to <CLIP_DIR>/*.claudeclip.

Add a one-line signpost near the top distinguishing the two procedures — the /ctrl-clip invocation (sections 1–4) versus the drafting-time copy-link workflow — so the reader knows which applies when.

Replace 'the session scratchpad directory' with the explicit path or make the /tmp/claude-clip.txt fallback the primary instruction, since the scratchpad location is never specified.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly lean and directive — the format rules, copy procedure, and confirm step carry no padding. Minor over-explanation remains: the 'Why file://' paragraph (TUI scheme history, MIME registration, xdg-open) is background rationale Claude doesn't need to execute, and the contrast with built-in /copy plus the scratchpad-quoting justification could each be trimmed by a line.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable guidance: exact commands ('${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/clip.sh <that file>', clip-setup.sh), a concrete fallback path (/tmp/claude-clip.txt), an explicit file-id pattern ('[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,64}' with example 'slack-33247-review'), the exact link format '[⧉ ctrl + click](file://<CLIP_DIR>/<id>.claudeclip)', and deterministic format rules (tables → 'Label: value, value'). Nothing is pseudocode or vague.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Both procedures are clearly sequenced: sections 1–4 (decide what → format → copy → confirm) with explicit checkpoints ('Reply with a single line: the script's ⧉ Copied … output') and error-recovery loops for each failure mode ('If the script fails, show its error line'; 'If copying breaks, check <CLIP_DIR>/handler.log first — no entry means the click never reached the handler'). Clipboard copying is not destructive or batch, so no validation cap applies.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized single-file skill (~90 lines) with numbered, cross-referenced sections ('section 2, no blockquote markers') and clearly signaled script references (clip.sh, clip-setup.sh). Minor gaps: the inline-copy-link workflow is a second procedure appended after the main one without a top-level signpost separating the two use cases, and the inline 'Why file://' rationale would sit better in a reference or trimmed to the operative rule.

Description

95%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, concrete description that answers what, when, and how (arguments) with natural quoted trigger phrases in multiple languages. The only rubric violation is the second-person 'you draft' in the trigger clause, which costs it the top specificity score.

Suggestions

Rewrite the trigger clause in third person (e.g., 'Use whenever Claude drafts a message the user will paste…') to satisfy the third-person voice requirement.

Keep the quoted trigger phrases as-is — they are the description's strongest asset.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Copy a message to the system clipboard cleanly formatted', 'add a clickable "⧉ ctrl + click" copy link under it', 'Optional argument picks the target format: slack (default), md, plain' — with comprehensive coverage of the skill's scope. However, the trigger clause uses second person ('Use whenever you draft a message the user will paste'), which the guidelines penalize by reducing specificity by 1.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: what ('Copy a message to the system clipboard cleanly formatted — no blockquote pipes, no terminal bars, no Claude commentary') and when ('Use whenever you draft a message the user will paste… and when the user says "/ctrl-clip", "copy that", "put it on the clipboard"'), with concrete trigger phrases. It also documents the optional argument and its values.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Quotes the exact natural phrases a user would say — 'when the user says "/ctrl-clip", "copy that", "put it on the clipboard" (in any language)' — plus destination names (Slack, Teams, PR comment, email). Coverage of natural terms, synonyms, and even multi-language triggers is comprehensive; no meaningful terms are missing.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche — clean clipboard copying plus a copy-link mechanism — explicitly differentiated from the built-in behavior ('no blockquote pipes, no terminal bars, no Claude commentary'). Triggers ('copy that', 'put it on the clipboard') are specific to this skill and unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
