Why is the Alt+V keybinding recommended?

Windows Terminal often intercepts 'Ctrl+V' for its own text-pasting functions. Binding 'Alt+V' specifically for Claude Code ensures image paste commands are correctly received by the application.

Does this require a specific version of Windows?

Yes, it requires WSL2 with WSLg support, which is typically available on Windows 11 or updated versions of Windows 10.

What Linux packages are required for this fix?

The setup requires 'wl-clipboard' for clipboard management and 'imagemagick' for image format conversion.

Why can't I paste images into Claude Code in WSL2 by default?

Windows and WSL2 use different clipboard architectures. This skill installs a watcher that converts Windows clipboard data into a format that Claude Code can interpret within the Linux environment.
