Obsidian Web Clipper Template Creator

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

When to Use

  • You need to create or refine an importable Obsidian Web Clipper template.
  • You want to map a site's real DOM, schema data, and selectors into a valid clipping template.
  • You need selector verification and template logic guidance before handing the JSON to the user.

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 Bases/.
    • Action: Read 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 to retrieve page content; if WebFetch is not available, use a browser DOM snapshot. See references/analysis-workflow.md.
