Clipboard

Interact with the system clipboard (text only) using `xclip` from any OpenClaw session.

Security Scan

The skill is internally consistent: it simply wraps use of the system xclip utility to copy/paste text and asks only for installing xclip via dnf.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the requirements: the skill requires the xclip binary and the instructions show only xclip commands. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains only simple copy/paste examples using xclip and an install command. It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files, exfiltrate data, or contact external endpoints. It does show copying file contents when the user specifies a path (which is expected behavior).

Install Mechanism

Install spec uses dnf to install the xclip package (standard OS package manager). Low risk. Note: only a dnf installer is provided (appropriate for Fedora/RHEL); other platforms/distributions are not covered by this spec.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The scope of access is limited to the xclip binary and whatever files the user explicitly asks to copy.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request persistent presence, system-wide changes, or modification of other skills. always:false and no install-time writes beyond installing xclip are declared.

Assessment

This skill is simple and coherent: it uses the system xclip utility to copy and paste text. Before installing, confirm you are on a dnf-based Linux distribution (the install spec uses sudo dnf install xclip). Be aware that when you ask the skill to copy a file, it will read whatever file path you provide — do not request copying sensitive system files or secrets. Installation requires root privileges (sudo dnf), so ensure you trust the package source and your system's repositories. The agent can invoke the skill autonomously by default, but this skill on its own only runs xclip commands and does not contact external services.

Clipboard Skill

Interact with the system clipboard (text only) from any OpenClaw session. Uses xclip on Linux.

Copy to Clipboard

Copy text to the clipboard:

echo "Hello, world!" | xclip -selection clipboard

Paste from Clipboard

Output current clipboard contents:

xclip -selection clipboard -o

Copy File Contents

Copy the contents of a file to the clipboard:

xclip -selection clipboard < /path/to/file.txt

Install

sudo dnf install xclip
