Show HN: SmartClip – fix multi-line shell commands before they hit your terminal

akshaydeshraj — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:24:57 +0000

I kept copying multi-line commands from ChatGPT/Claude/READMEs and getting `command not found` errors when pasting into my terminal. Bracketed paste mode doesn't help — it prevents line-by-line execution, but the content itself still arrives broken (stray `$` prompts, split continuations, operators across lines).

SmartClip hooks into your shell's paste widget (zsh, bash, fish) and silently fixes multi-line commands before the shell sees them. You paste with Cmd+V as usual — no new keybindings, no daemon, no background process.

It uses score-based heuristics to detect shell commands (so it won't mangle your JSON or prose), joins lines intelligently (backslash continuations, pipes, `&&`), strips prompt characters, and validates everything with `bash -n` before inserting. If it's not confident or the fix has invalid syntax, it passes through unchanged.

~150 lines of bash. Zero dependencies.

`brew install akshaydeshraj/smartclip` or `npm install -g smartclip-cli`

Could have taken this opportunity to include some degree of "truth" or "fact checking", but no.

Slack. Hands down.

No issues with the actual product per se, which is quite nice. But the experience while using Slack goes bad exponentially as the team scales if certain usage guidelines are not put in place.
