What does the Obsidian Clipper Template Creator do?

It generates the JSON configuration code needed to create custom extraction templates for the official Obsidian Web Clipper browser extension.

Do I need to know how to code to use this skill?

No. You simply provide a URL and your desired data structure, and the skill handles the technical DOM analysis and JSON formatting for you.

Can I use this to match my existing Obsidian vault properties?

Yes, the skill is designed to read your local .base files to ensure the clipper's fields align perfectly with your existing note organization.

How does it ensure the CSS selectors actually work?

The skill follows a strict verification rule: it fetches the HTML content of a sample URL provided by the user to confirm selectors exist before including them in the template.
