Copy for Teams

When the user asks to copy something for Teams, format it as rich text (HTML) and copy to the macOS clipboard so it pastes with formatting via Cmd+V.

How to copy

Write the HTML to a temp file, then use a separate python script with osascript to set the public.html pasteboard type. This requires dangerouslyDisableSandbox: true on the python command (clipboard access is blocked by sandbox).

Pipe the HTML content directly into the copy script (use Bash tool with dangerouslyDisableSandbox: true):

cat << 'HTMLEOF' | python3 ~/.claude/skills/copy-for-teams/copy_teams.py
<b>Title here</b><br>
<b>Key:</b> <code>value</code><br>
HTMLEOF

The copy script reads HTML from stdin and sets it on the clipboard as public.html.

Formatting guidelines

Use these HTML tags for formatting — Teams renders them when pasted via Cmd+V:

  • <b> — bold text
  • <code> — inline code
  • <br> — line break
  • <hr> — horizontal rule
  • <blockquote> — quoted text
  • <ul>, <li> — bullet lists
  • <ol>, <li> — numbered lists

Keep the HTML simple and flat. Do not use CSS styles or complex nesting — Teams strips most of it.

Tone

  • Use proper capitalization (start sentences with capitals).
  • No greeting or sign-off — just the message content directly.
  • Keep it casual and conversational, but not sloppy.
