## Capabilities

- Creates importable Obsidian Web Clipper template structures.
- Maps Obsidian Base properties to Clipper frontmatter fields.
- Identifies preset, metadata, Schema.org, and CSS selector variables.
- Applies documented filters, fallbacks, conditionals, loops, and variable assignment.
- Verifies selectors against a supplied page or browser DOM snapshot.

## Use Cases

- Capture Research Articles: Create a template that saves article content, source details, publication dates, and authors into consistent research notes.
- Align Clips With Bases: Map existing Base properties into matching Web Clipper fields for consistent vault metadata.
- Extract Structured Recipes: Verify Recipe schema fields and format ingredients, instructions, images, and nutrition data for clipping.

## Prompt Templates

### Create a Basic Article Template

```
Create a general Obsidian Web Clipper template for articles. Include title, author, URL, publication date, description, and content fields.
```

### Map an Obsidian Base

```
Review my Clippings Base properties and create a matching Web Clipper template. Ask which fields should be automatic, fixed, or manual.
```

### Verify a Site Template

```
Analyze this public sample URL: [URL]. Verify Schema.org data, metadata, and selectors before creating a recipe template for my Recipes Base.
```

### Design Advanced Template Logic

```
Create a template for [content type] from [URL]. Add verified fallbacks, conditionals, and loops while preserving valid Clipper syntax.
```

## Limitations

- Requires a representative URL or DOM snapshot for selector verification.
- Cannot verify selectors when the target content is inaccessible or absent.
- Depends on current Obsidian Web Clipper syntax and editor validation.
- Does not import templates into Obsidian or test them inside the extension.

## Best Practices

- Provide a representative public URL and the relevant Base properties.
- Prefer Schema.org data and metadata before using fragile CSS selectors.
- Validate the generated template in the Obsidian Web Clipper editor.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not guess selectors when the page or target element is unavailable.
- Do not add template logic when simple variables provide the same result.
- Do not assume every Base property should be filled automatically.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-08-04T16:38:26.034\+00:00
- Summary: All 17 static findings are false positives caused by Markdown formatting, example data, template terminology, or official documentation links. The skill still exposes agents to unrestricted URL retrieval and indirect prompt injection from untrusted page content.
