Problem Statement
When I use /copy to grab a response and paste it into Slack or a doc, the markdown formatting comes along with it -- bold, - bullets, # headers, backticks, etc. I then have to manually clean it up before sending, which defeats the purpose of quick copy-paste.
Use cases:
- Pasting an answer into a Slack message to share with someone
- Copying into Google Docs or Confluence where markdown syntax shows up as raw text
- Any context where the recipient isn't reading rendered markdown
Proposed Solution
Suggested solutions (any would work):
- A flag like /copy --text or /copy --plain that strips markdown formatting
- A setting in /config to set default copy format (markdown vs plain text)
- Two commands: /copy for plain text, /copy --md for markdown (since most paste targets don't render markdown anyway)
Plain text is probably the more useful default since most places people paste into (Slack, email, docs) don't render raw markdown.
