At a glance

Builds importable JSON templates for the Obsidian Web Clipper by checking your Bases, analyzing a sample page and drafting the template.

  • Works in 5 steps: Identify User Intent: specific site… → Check Existing Bases: The user likely… → Fetch & Analyze Reference URL: Validate… → …
  • Creating a new Obsidian Web Clipper template for a specific site
  • SKILL.md covers Workflow, Output Format, Resources and Examples
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

This skill creates JSON templates for the Obsidian Web Clipper that you can copy and import. The agent first identifies whether you want a template for a particular site such as YouTube, a type of content such as recipes, or general clipping. It then checks the Base schemas in Templates/Bases/ for a matching category and reuses that Base's properties to shape the template's properties.

Next it asks for a sample URL if you have not given one, fetches the page with WebFetch, and analyzes the HTML for Schema.org JSON, meta tags and CSS selectors, so the chosen variables are tested against a real page. It drafts a JSON object that follows the documented schema, verifies that each preset, schema or selector variable exists in the analysis, and returns the result as a JSON code block. Reference files cover variables, filters, the JSON schema, the Bases workflow and page analysis, with example clipping and recipe templates in assets.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating a new Obsidian Web Clipper template for a specific site
  • Mapping an existing Base's properties onto clipper template properties
  • Working out which variables and filters a page supports

Example prompts

  • “Create a Web Clipper template for recipes that matches my Recipes base.”
  • “Build a clipper template for YouTube videos, and use this video page to check the variables.”
  • “Which Web Clipper filters should I use to format the published date on this article?”

Requirements

  • An Obsidian vault with the Web Clipper
  • Network access to fetch a sample page

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  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 Templates/Bases/.
  3. Fetch & Analyze Reference URL: Validate variables against a real page.
  4. Draft the JSON: Create a valid JSON object following the schema.
  5. Verify Variables: Ensure the chosen variables (Preset, Schema, Selector) exist in your analysis.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c0ca7da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • help.obsidian.md

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Obsidian Web Clipper Templates loads about 632 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~632
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Obsidian Web Clipper Template Creator

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

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 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.
  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: 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.
  4. Draft the JSON: Create a valid JSON object following the schema.
  5. Verify Variables: Ensure the chosen variables (Preset, Schema, Selector) exist in your analysis.

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",
  ...
}
