# Markdown Copy

Extract the final answer from this session, convert it to proper markdown format, and copy to clipboard.

## Formatting Rules

1. **No heading elements** (`#`, `##`, etc.) — use **bold** for section titles instead
2. Convert any ASCII tables to proper markdown tables
3. Use *italic* for emphasis and minor notes
4. Preserve code blocks with proper language tags
5. Keep bullet lists and numbered lists
6. Remove any leading spaces or bullet headers (bullet-style)
7. Give the content a nice descriptive title (as bold text, not heading)

## Workflow

1. Identify the final answer/response in this session
2. Format it according to the rules above
3. Write formatted text to a timestamped temp file:
```bash
tmpfile="/tmp/claude-md-copy-$(date +%s).txt"
cat > "$tmpfile" << 'EOF'
<formatted content>
EOF
```
4. Copy to clipboard and remove temp file:
```bash
if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "darwin"* ]]; then
    pbcopy < "$tmpfile"
elif command -v xclip &> /dev/null; then
    xclip -selection clipboard < "$tmpfile"
elif command -v xsel &> /dev/null; then
    xsel --clipboard --input < "$tmpfile"
else
    echo "No clipboard tool found" >&2
fi
rm -f "$tmpfile"
```
5. Report success with character count
