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", ... }
