Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

obsidian-clipper-template-creator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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 Bases/.
    • Action: Read 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 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 to retrieve page content; if WebFetch is not available, use a browser DOM snapshot. See references/analysis-workflow.md.
    • Action: Analyze the HTML for Schema.org JSON, Meta tags, and CSS selectors.
    • Action (REQUIRED): Verify each selector against the fetched content. Do not guess selectors.
    • See references/analysis-workflow.md for analysis techniques.
  4. Draft the JSON: Create a valid JSON object following the schema.
  5. Consider template logic: Use conditionals for optional blocks (e.g. show nutrition only if present), loops for list data, variable assignment to avoid repeating expressions, and fallbacks for missing variables. Use logic only when it improves the template; keep simple templates simple. See references/logic.md.
  6. Verify Variables: Ensure the chosen variables (Preset, Schema, Selector) exist in your analysis.
    • Action (REQUIRED): If a selector cannot be verified from the fetched content, state that explicitly and ask for another URL.
    • See references/variables.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
