README (SKILL.md)
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 \x3C /path/to/file.txt
Install
sudo dnf install xclip
Usage Guidance
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.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: clipboard
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides functionality to interact with the system clipboard using `xclip`. All commands and installation instructions in `SKILL.md` are directly related to this stated purpose. While the `xclip -selection clipboard < /path/to/file.txt` command allows reading arbitrary file contents into the clipboard, this is a core capability of the skill and does not exhibit clear malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attempts against the agent. The skill itself does not instruct the agent to access sensitive files or perform unauthorized actions.
Capability Assessment
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.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install clipboard - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/clipboard - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
