Clip Resource

For the case where the user has no Web Clipper, no Readwise, nothing installed: this skill fetches a URL directly and writes a Resource file that looks like Web Clipper's own output. It never touches .agents/slipbox/candidates/ or takes part in the candidate pipeline; the one file it reads from that directory is .agents/slipbox/vault-conventions.md, for filename and frontmatter conventions, not pipeline bookkeeping. surface-ideas reads the Resource file later; this skill's job ends once it's written.

3. Transform

Shape what you fetched into Web Clipper's format:
