Process Clippings Skill

Process web clippings from the Clippings folder and integrate them into the Second Brain.

Obsidian CLI: See ../OBSIDIAN.md | Integration: See ../SECOND_BRAIN.md

Processing Workflow

Step 1: Find Clippings

obsidian files folder=Clippings ext=md

Step 2: For Each Clipping

  1. Read the clipping:
obsidian read path="Clippings/<file>.md"
  1. Categorize per ../SECONDBRAIN.md routing table
  2. Decide: Actionable (tutorials, patterns, code) -> Second Brain | Reference only -> Bookmarks
  3. Extract & integrate per ../SECONDBRAIN.md content template:
# Append to destination
obsidian append file="Second Brain - <Topic>" content="<extracted>"
# Update timeline
obsidian append file="Second Brain - Timeline" content="- **YYYY-MM-DD** | [Topic] | Source: Clipping | -> Second Brain - <File>.md"

Step 3: Archive Clipping

After successful integration:

obsidian move path="Clippings/<file>.md" to="Clippings/Processed/<file>.md"

Or if user prefers, delete:

obsidian delete path="Clippings/<file>.md"

Output Format

After processing each clipping, report:

Processed: [Clipping Title]
  -> Added to: Second Brain - [File].md
  -> Type: [Actionable/Reference]
  -> Key insight: [1-line summary]
