Obsidian Web Clipper Template Creator
This skill helps you create importable JSON templates for the Obsidian Web Clipper.
Workflow
- Identify User Intent: specific site (YouTube), specific type (Recipe), or general clipping?
- 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.
- 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: Use WebFetch to retrieve the page HTML. - Action: Analyze the HTML for Schema.org JSON, Meta tags, and CSS selectors. - See references/analysis-workflow.md for analysis techniques.
- Draft the JSON: Create a valid JSON object following the schema.
- See references/json-schema.md.
- Verify Variables: Ensure the chosen variables (Preset, Schema, Selector) exist in your analysis.
- See references/variables.md.
Output Format
ALWAYS output the final result as a JSON code block that the user can copy and import.
{
"schemaVersion": "0.1.0",
"name": "My Template",
