## Description

This project is a markdown web clipper and local-first web archiver. It functions as a browser extension that extracts web page content and highlights, saving them as structured markdown files for personal knowledge management and long-term preservation.

The utility acts as a template-based content extractor, transforming raw website data into formatted notes. It uses custom variables and processing filters to organize how captured information is structured before it is sent to a local directory.
