# 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.

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.
