About obsidian-clipper-template-creator

This skill helps build importable JSON templates for the Obsidian Web Clipper. It starts by checking for a matching Base schema in the Bases folder, then fetches a sample URL with WebFetch or a browser DOM snapshot. The skill analyzes Schema.org data, meta tags, and CSS selectors, and it checks each selector against the fetched content before drafting the JSON.

The skill also guides optional template logic such as conditionals, loops, variable assignment, and fallbacks. Its output is always a JSON code block the user can copy and import. It is aimed at people who want to turn web pages into structured Obsidian notes with a reliable template.

Written from the project's SKILL.md and checked against it.
