- Save any web page as an Obsidian-compatible Markdown clipping. Triggered by "save <URL>" or "保存这个". Uses Jina Reader API for clean content extraction. Supports custom tags, subfolders, and vault paths. Saves to ~/.openclaw/obsidian-cache/clippings/ by default. TRIGGER "save <URL>" / "保存这个" / any URL with "save" or "clip" -> ALWAYS exec: python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/web-clipper/scripts/save_web_page.py --url "URL" -> Confirm the saved filename to user. NEVER use memory.
Web Clipper
Save any web page as a clean, readable Markdown note in your Obsidian vault. Powered by Jina Reader API for content extraction — no browser extension required. Works from inside Claude.
When to Use This Skill
- You want to save an article for later reading in Obsidian
- You found a useful page and want it archived as Markdown
- You want to add tags and organize clips into subfolders
- You need to clip technical docs, blog posts, or news articles
- You want to avoid browser extension bloat — just tell Claude to save it
What This Skill Does
- Fetches the page via Jina Reader API — strips ads, nav, and noise
- Converts to Markdown — clean readable format with frontmatter
- Saves to your vault — default:
~/.openclaw/obsidian-cache/clippings/ - Adds metadata — title, source URL, date saved, and your tags
- Confirms the filename — Claude tells you exactly where it was saved
Requirements
- Python 3.7+
