Do I need the Obsidian Web Clipper extension?

Yes, this skill is designed to manage and configure the templates used by the official Obsidian Web Clipper browser extension.

Can it automatically fetch YouTube transcripts?

Yes, during the 'para enrich' phase, the pipeline can use tools like Firecrawl to automatically pull transcripts and full-page content into your Obsidian notes.

How does the automatic classification work?

The 'para scan' step uses URL patterns and content analysis to identify sources like YouTube, GitHub, or documentation, applying the correct metadata tags automatically.

Why use a single template instead of multiple specialized ones?

To eliminate decision fatigue. Choosing a specific template at the moment of capture often leads to analysis paralysis; this skill captures everything to a central inbox first for later processing.

Where are my clipped notes stored initially?

By default, the template is configured to send all new clippings to the '00 Inbox' folder in your Obsidian vault for zero-friction capture.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages a zero-decision web capture pipeline for Obsidian that automates classification and reduces cognitive load during research.

About

This skill implements an ADHD-friendly capture system for the Obsidian Web Clipper, replacing multiple complex templates with a single universal capture point. It streamlines the research process by deferring organization, using a classification pipeline to automatically identify content types like YouTube videos, documentation, and recipes after the initial capture. By removing decision fatigue at the moment of clipping, it helps users maintain hyperfocus without the distraction of manual tagging or folder selection during the collection phase.
