## Your Task

**Input**: $ARGUMENTS

Copy content from track files to the system clipboard for pasting into Suno or other tools.

# Clipboard Skill

Copy specific sections from track files directly to your clipboard.

## Step 1: Detect Platform & Check Clipboard Tool

Run detection:

```bash
if command -v pbcopy >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "macOS"
elif command -v clip.exe >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  # clip.exe is a built-in Windows utility (System32). Reachable both from WSL
  # via interop and from a native-Windows shell such as Git Bash, so this one
  # branch covers both. Verified on a windows-latest runner: Git Bash present,
  # clip.exe resolved at /c/Windows/system32/clip.exe, copy round-tripped.
  echo "Windows/WSL"
elif command -v xclip >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Linux-xclip"
elif command -v xsel >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Linux-xsel"
else
  echo "NONE"
fi
```

**If NONE:**

```
Error: No clipboard utility found.

Install instructions:
- macOS: pbcopy (built-in)
- Linux: sudo apt install xclip
- Windows (native) and WSL: clip.exe (built-in)
```

## Step 2: Parse Arguments

Expected format: `<content-type> <album-name> <track-number>`

**Content types:**
- `lyrics` - Suno Lyrics Box
- `style` - Suno Style Box only
- `exclude` - Suno Exclude Styles field (bare elements, comma-separated — `drums, autotune`, never "no drums")
- `streaming-lyrics` - Streaming Lyrics (for distributors)
- `all` - All Suno inputs (Style + Exclude + Lyrics combined)
- `suno` - JSON object (title, style, exclude_styles, lyrics) for Suno auto-fill via Tampermonkey

Examples:
- `/clipboard lyrics sample-album 03`
- `/clipboard style sample-album 05`
- `/clipboard streaming-lyrics sample-album 02`
- `/clipboard all sample-album 01`

If arguments are missing:
```
Usage: /clipboard <content-type> <album-name> <track-number>

Content types: lyrics, style, exclude, streaming-lyrics, all, suno

Example: /clipboard lyrics sample-album 03
```

## Step 3: Extract Content via MCP

Call `format_for_clipboard(album_slug, track_slug, content_type)` — extracts and formats the requested content in one call.

- `content_type`: `"lyrics"`, `"style"`, `"exclude"`, `"streaming"`, `"all"`, or `"suno"`
- Returns the formatted content ready for clipboard
- Handles track resolution, section extraction, and formatting automatically

**If track not found:** MCP returns an error with available tracks.

## Step 6: Copy to Clipboard

Use the detected platform's clipboard command:

| Platform | Command |
|----------|---------|
| macOS | `pbcopy` |
| Windows (native) / WSL | `clip.exe` |
| Linux (xclip) | `xclip -selection clipboard` |
| Linux (xsel) | `xsel --clipboard --input` |

Example (use `printf '%s'` to safely handle special characters in lyrics):
```bash
printf '%s' "$content" | pbcopy  # macOS
printf '%s' "$content" | xclip -selection clipboard  # Linux
```

## Step 7: Confirm

Report:
```
✓ Copied to clipboard: {content-type} from track {track-number}
  Album: {album}
  Track: {track-filename}
```

## Error Handling

**Track file not found:**
```
Error: Track {track-number} not found in album {album}

Available tracks:
- 01-track-name.md
- 02-track-name.md
```
