# 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](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` or a browser DOM snapshot to retrieve page content before choosing any selector.
