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
- Identify User Intent: specific site (YouTube), specific type (Recipe), or general clipping?
- Check Existing Bases: The user likely has a "Base" schema defined in
Bases/.- Action: Read
Bases/*.baseto 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.
- Action: Read
- 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.
- Action: Analyze the HTML for Schema.org JSON, Meta tags, and CSS selectors.
- Action (REQUIRED): Verify each selector against the fetched content. Do not guess selectors.
- See references/analysis-workflow.md for analysis techniques.
- Draft the JSON: Create a valid JSON object following the schema.
- Consider template logic: Use conditionals for optional blocks (e.g. show nutrition only if present), loops for list data, variable assignment to avoid repeating expressions, and fallbacks for missing variables. Use logic only when it improves the template; keep simple templates simple. See references/logic.md.
- Verify Variables: Ensure the chosen variables (Preset, Schema, Selector) exist in your analysis.
- Action (REQUIRED): If a selector cannot be verified from the fetched content, state that explicitly and ask for another URL.
- See references/variables.md.
Selector Verification Rules
- Always verify selectors against live page content before responding.
- Never guess selectors. If the DOM cannot be accessed or the element is missing, ask for another URL or a screenshot.
- Prefer stable selectors (data attributes, semantic roles, unique IDs) over fragile class chains.
- Document the target element in your reasoning (e.g., "About sidebar paragraph") to reduce mismatch.
Output Format
ALWAYS output the final result as a JSON code block that the user can copy and import.
The Clipper template editor validates template syntax. If you use template logic (conditionals, loops, variable assignment), ensure it follows the syntax in references/logic.md and the official Logic docs so the template passes validation.

"schemaVersion": "0.1.0",
