My Web Clipper Prompt (LYT)#
Author: Nick Milo (Linking Your Thinking)
Summary#
Setup guide for the Obsidian Web Clipper’s Interpreter feature. Uses three AI-powered prompts (via {{" "}} syntax) to generate structured layers above any clipped article:
- Summary — most interesting aspect as a single declarative statement
- Headlines — bold one-line insights with 1-2 supporting sentences
- Things — bulleted list of people, places, numbers, things, and concepts
Model-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, or local models via Ollama.
Significance#
A lightweight, zero-code approach to knowledge capture that complements the llm-wiki-pattern:
- Web Clipper: capture-time processing, single-article scope, browser-native
- LLM Wiki: ingest-time processing, cross-source synthesis, vault-native
Both share the principle: AI processes, human curates. The three-layer template (summary → headlines → entities) mirrors this wiki’s own source page structure.
Connections#
- Complements notebooklm-notes-guide — both are “AI-enhanced capture” tools with different scopes
- Validates llm-wiki-pattern — same capture→process→organize flow, lighter weight
- Connects to context-management — the interpreter prompt is a micro-context-engineering exercise
