SnipLink — The ADHD-Friendly URL Saver

Who It's For

You found something cool. You want it saved now — before you forget, before you lose the tab, before the momentum dies.

SnipLink saves it instantly: title, description, category, tags, social links. Done in seconds. No multi-step forms, no "where should I put this" paralysis.

Trigger

Use this skill when:

1. User shares a URL and wants it saved — "save this", "remember this", "add to my stash"
2. User asks "what tools do I have for X" or wants to search their saved links
3. User is brainstorming and needs quick tool suggestions by tag or category

Zero friction. One URL in, clean record out. Confirm once, forget about it.

Workflow

1. Saving a Link (One-Shot)

Step 1: Detect source type

• GitHub.com repo URL → use

  gh api

  (structured data, no scraping)
• All other URLs → use

  web_fetch

Step 2: Extract info

For GitHub repos, extract:

• Repo name, description, primary language, star count, license, topics/tags, last updated, owner

For all other pages:

• web_fetch

  → title, meta description, pricing, features
• Skip if behind login, paywall, or CAPTCHA

Step 3: Auto-categorize

• AI/ML — AI services, LLMs, machine learning
• Development — Coding tools, APIs, frameworks, testing
• Productivity — Task management, notes, workflow automation
• Marketing — SEO, social media, ads, content
• Design — Graphics, UI/UX, video, prototyping
• Finance — Billing, accounting, payments
• Communication — Messaging, email, calls, CRM
• Data — Analytics, databases, visualization
• Other — Anything else

Step 4: Auto-generate tags

• Extract from description, GitHub topics, or page keywords
• Common: free, paid, api, no-code, open-source, mobile, cloud, etc.

Step 5: Social media lookup

• web_search

  tool name + "LinkedIn" / "Twitter"
• Store URLs if found

Step 6: Confirm and save

• Present one-line summary: "Saved: [title] ([category])"
• Save to database after confirmation

2. Retrieving Saved Links

• By category: "Show me all AI tools"
• By search: "Find something for PDF editing"
• By tag: "Show me everything tagged free"
• Full list: "List all my saved tools"

3. Tool Suggestions (Opt-In)

When user asks for project help, search by relevant tags/categories and suggest.

GitHub Integration

GitHub URLs get treated specially via

gh api

:

# Repo metadata example
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}

Extracted fields: name, description, language, stargazers_count, topics, license, updated_at, homepage, html_url

No web scraping needed for GitHub — clean, fast, accurate.

Content Boundaries

Never scrape:

• Pages behind login, paywall, or CAPTCHA
• Pages blocked by robots.txt
• URLs containing personal data (iCloud, Google Drive shared links, etc.)

Sanitization:

• Strip tracking params from URLs before saving (utm_*, fbclid, etc.)
• Never store OAuth tokens, API keys, or session IDs
