# Pilot Clipboard

> Shared clipboard for quick text and data snippets between agents over Pilot Protocol. Use this skill when: 1. You need to share short text snippets or command output between agents 2. You want a quick copy/paste mechanism across the Pilot network 3. You need to exchange small data payloads without file transfer Do NOT use this skill when: - You need to transfer files (use pilot-share instead) - You need to share large datasets (use pilot-dataset instead) - You need persistent storage (use pilot-backup instead)

## Commands

```bash
echo "Hello from Pilot!" | pilotctl --json send "1:0001.AAAA.BBBB" 1001 --data "$(cat)"
```

### Send Message
```bash
pilotctl --json send-message "1:0001.AAAA.BBBB" --data "Hello from Pilot!"
```

### Paste from Remote
```bash
pilotctl --json inbox | jq -r '.messages[0].content'
```

### Share Command Output
```bash
OUTPUT=$(ls -lh)
pilotctl --json send "1:0001.AAAA.BBBB" 1001 --data "$OUTPUT"
```

## Workflow Example

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Clipboard manager

CLIPBOARD_PORT=1001

clip_copy() {
  local dest="$1"
  local content="${2:-$(cat)}"
  local sender=$(pilotctl --json info | jq -r '.hostname')

  local clip_msg=$(cat <<EOF
{"type":"clipboard","content":$(echo "$content" | jq -R -s .),"sender":"$sender"}
EOF
)

  pilotctl --json send-message "$dest" --data "$clip_msg"
}

clip_paste() {
  pilotctl --json inbox | jq -r '.messages[] | select(.type == "clipboard") | .content' | head -1
}

case "${1:-help}" in
  copy) shift; clip_copy "$@" ;;
  paste) clip_paste ;;
  *) echo "Usage: pilot-clipboard {copy DEST [CONTENT]|paste}" ;;
esac
```
