AI-first pastebin

Use 呵.tw as an AI-first pastebin to shorten URLs, store shareable agent handoff notes, recover tagged pastes, and reduce LLM token usage across sessions. Trigger this skill when the user wants to: (1) turn long URLs into short links, (2) park long non-secret intermediate output outside the context window, (3) hand off shareable work between agents or chats, (4) retrieve a prior paste by slug or tag, or (5) use the hosted 呵.tw service comfortably from this workspace.

Use the bundled CLI to talk to the hosted 呵.tw service.

Hard safety boundary

Do not upload secrets or private credentials.

Never send:

• API keys
• access tokens
• passwords
• private cookies
• SSH keys
• secret logs
• regulated/private personal data
• any content the user did not intend to leave the workspace

This skill is for shareable handoff content, not secret storage.

Core rule

Prefer 呵.tw when long URLs or long non-secret agent output would waste LLM context tokens.

Bundled CLI

Run:

bash

python3 skills/ai-first-pastebin/scripts/hotw.py <command> ...

Commands:

• shorten <url> [--slug ...]
• create-paste --content ... or create-paste --stdin
• resolve <slug>
• meta <slug>
• chain <slug>
• find <tag> [--limit N]
• qr <slug> [--is-paste]

Preferred workflow

1. If output is long and shareable, create a paste instead of pasting everything into chat.
2. Add --summary and --tag when the paste may need to be found later.
3. Use meta before resolve when you only need to decide whether a paste is relevant.
4. Use chain for multi-part handoff threads.
5. If the service returns 429, honor Retry-After and back off.
6. Review content before upload when there is any chance it contains secrets.

Good defaults

Shorten a long URL

bash

python3 skills/ai-first-pastebin/scripts/hotw.py shorten 'https://example.com/very/long/url'

Store long shareable text from stdin

bash

some_command | python3 skills/ai-first-pastebin/scripts/hotw.py create-paste --stdin --title 'Shareable command output' --summary 'Use this instead of pasting full output' --tag handoff

Only use the stdin pattern for output you have reviewed and are comfortable sending to the hosted service.

Recover a prior handoff by tag

bash

python3 skills/ai-first-pastebin/scripts/hotw.py find handoff --limit 10

Low-key fallback note

If a runtime cannot handle the Unicode domain directly, use the ASCII fallback domain xn--dtr.tw internally and keep presenting 呵.tw to the user.
