SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Capturing web content into a PARA-organized Obsidian vault normally requires manually fetching the page, choosing a template, classifying the topic, and formatting the note. This Skill collapses that entire pipeline into a single URL-driven command. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automatic enrichment routing: Fetches content via YouTube Transcript, X/Twitter API, or Firecrawl based on the URL domain, with WebFetch as fallback. - Template classification: Detects whether content is a resource, meeting, invoice, or booking and routes it to the correct note template with the right frontmatter fields. - Area and project suggestion: Matches content against your vault's existing PARA areas and projects, then gates creation behind an accept/edit/cancel proposal. - Use Case: Paste a YouTube video URL and receive a fully classified resource note with a sampled transcript injected into its Layer 1 section, committed to the vault in one step. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a note from a URL, for example: create a note from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abc123 and file it under my AI Practice area.

Frequently Asked Questions about quick-create

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an Obsidian note from a URL automatically?▼

Invoke the skill with a URL and it fetches the content, classifies it into a template (resource, meeting, invoice, or booking), suggests an area and project, and creates the note after you approve the proposal. Optional flags let you override the template, area, project, or title.

How does URL content get fetched for note creation?▼

The tool is selected by domain: YouTube URLs use the YouTube Transcript MCP, X/Twitter links use the X API, and everything else uses Firecrawl scraping. If Firecrawl fails, WebFetch is used as a fallback.

Can I override the automatic template detection?▼

Yes, pass the --template flag with resource, meeting, invoice, or booking to skip auto-detection. You can also override the area, project, and title with their respective flags, and all values are validated against your vault.

Does it work with YouTube videos and Twitter threads?▼

Yes, YouTube URLs are enriched with video metadata and a sampled transcript of about ten percent of segments, while X/Twitter URLs pull the full tweet or thread content in order. Both are classified as resources with the appropriate source format.

What happens if the URL is unreachable or content extraction fails?▼

The skill tries the fallback chain from Firecrawl to WebFetch, and reports an error if all fetch methods fail. If note creation succeeds but Layer 1 content injection fails, the note still exists and you can add content later with the distill-resource command.
