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",
  ...
}
