Obsidian Web Clipper Template Creator

This skill helps you create importable JSON templates for the Obsidian Web Clipper.

Workflow

1. Identify User Intent: specific site (YouTube), specific type (Recipe), or general clipping?
2. Check Existing Bases: The user likely has a "Base" schema defined in Templates/Bases/.
   • Action: Read Templates/Bases/*.base to find a matching category (e.g., Recipes.base).
   • Action: Use the properties defined in the Base to structure the Clipper template properties.
   • See references/bases-workflow.md for details.
3. Fetch & Analyze Reference URL: Validate variables against a real page.
   • Action: Ask the user for a sample URL of the content they want to clip (if not provided).
   • Action (REQUIRED): Use WebFetch or a browser DOM snapshot to retrieve page content before choosing any selector.
   • Action: Analyze the HTML for Schema.org JSON, Meta tags, and CSS selectors.
   • Action (REQUIRED): Verify each selector against the fetched content. Do not guess selectors.
   • See references/analysis-workflow.md for analysis techniques.
4. Draft the JSON: Create a valid JSON object following the schema.
   • See references/json-schema.md.
