Obsidian Templates

I need a place to keep my collection of templates for Obsidian documents and the Obsidian Web Clipper extension. These are some of them.

Web Clipper Templates

These are based on the works of others. I have modified them to better suit my needs or just copied them here for convenience. See the list of sources below.

• default-clipper.json

  • Clipper for general web pages

• github-repository-clipper.json

  • Clipper for GitHub repositories

• google-mail-clipper.json

  • Clipper for Google Mail

Obsidian Document Templates

These are basic templates that may use dataviewjs to perform some inline queries.

• Person.md

  • Collect details about a person

• Topic.md

  • Form an overview of a topic. Notes frontmatter will referrence Topics: "[[Topics/Foo]]" making them easy to discover via the topic page.

[!NOTE] These following document templates rely on the Templater plugin.

• daily.md

  • Create a daily note

• Meeting.md

  • Create a meeting note. Tracks attendees, agenda, notes, and action items. Moves the file into the appropriate Meetings folder and links to series.

• MeetingSeries.md

  • Create a meeting series note. Used to collect recurring or related meetings. Tracks owners, cadence, and automatically gathers all meeting instances in the series.

• monthly.md

  • Create a monthly note with links to all days and weeks that month

• weekly.md

  • Create a weekly note with links to all days that week

• [Quarterly Connections.md]("Templates/Quarterly Connections.md")

  • Create a quarterly connections note used for employee reviews

Obsidian Vault Folder Structure

This is all still a WIP after months of dabbling in Obsidian, but here you go...

• Web Clipper Clippings By Source

Clippings/
  ├── GitHub/
  ├── Google/
  └── Web/

• Daily notes over time

Notes are moved to Archive after they have been processed into weekly or monthly notes.

Journal/
  ├── Archive/
  ├── Daily/
  ├── Weekly/
  └── Monthly/

• Career Stuff

ProDev/
  └─── Quarterly Connections/
    ├── 2025-Q3.md
    └── 2025-Q4.md

• Topics make a great overview page for a collection of notes on a topic. This is highly augmented by using the local Graph view to see connections. Here is a random sample of topics.

Topics/
  ├── Career.md
  ├── Meetings.md
  ├── Networking.md
  ├── OpenShift.md
  ├── People.md
  └── Virtualization.md
