related to - https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/11041 - https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/pull/674 cc/ @FMotalleb # Description reading the [frontpage of the standard library](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-std/README.md#--welcome-to-the-standard-library-of-nushell--) and according to the last Nushell meeting, i has been agreed that `std clip` does not belong to the standard library 😮 - it is not written in pure Nushell and requires external dependencies which might not even work properly as in https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/11041 - it is not a building block to build more complex applications this PR deprecates the `std clip` command in favor of [`modules/system clip`](https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/pull/674) for now. the `std clip` command will be removed in Nushell 0.89. # User-Facing Changes the deprecation warning:  > **Note** > the link has been changed to the `nu_scripts` in fa6c17da0 according to the review comments # Tests + Formatting # After Submitting this will have to be mentionned in the next release note, namely the slight differences between the two commands.
Welcome to the standard library of `nushell`!
The standard library is a pure-nushell
collection of custom commands which
provide interactive utilities and building blocks for users writing casual scripts or complex applications.
To see what's here:
> use std
> help commands | select name usage | where name =~ "std "
╭────┬─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ # │ name │ usage │
├────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 0 │ std assert │ Universal assert command │
│ 1 │ std assert equal │ Assert $left == $right │
. . .
│ 11 │ std clip │ put the end of a pipe into the system clipboard. │
│ 12 │ std dirs add │ Add one or more directories to the list. │
. . .

🧰 Using the standard library in the REPL or in scripts
All commands in the standard library must be "imported" into the running environment
(the interactive read-execute-print-loop (REPL) or a .nu
script) using the
use
command.
You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a std
prefix, e.g:
use std
std log debug "Running now"
std assert (1 == 2)
Or you can enumerate the specific commands you want to import and invoke them without the std
prefix.
use std ["log debug" assert]
log debug "Running again"
assert (2 == 1)
This is probably the form of import you'll want to add to your env.nu
for interactive use.
