# 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](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.
