clipaste Fix screenshot paste in terminal AI tools — locally, over SSH, and in WSL2. clipaste is a lightweight clipboard daemon for developers who use terminal-based AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Cursor. Install with one command via Homebrew (macOS) or PowerShell (Windows), and screenshot paste just works — in Ghostty, Alacritty, iTerm2, Kitty, WezTerm, and more. It also bridges your clipboard to remote servers over SSH and to WSL2 environments. Written in Rust, clipaste uses only 9 MB of RAM with 0% CPU overhead. Problem: You take a screenshot, switch to Claude Code / Codex / Cursor in your terminal, press Ctrl+V — nothing happens. Or you're SSH'd into a remote server and can't paste screenshots at all. Why: macOS screenshots only put raw image data (TIFF/PNG) on the clipboard. Terminals like Ghostty and Alacritty can only Cmd+V paste text or file URLs — they can't paste raw image data. Over SSH, the remote server has no access to your local clipboard whatsoever. Solution: clipaste is a tiny background daemon (9 MB RAM, 0% CPU) that: Local paste: Saves screenshots as temp PNG files and registers the file path on the clipboard, so Cmd+V works in terminals.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
