What is Logic?

What this skill does

The Logic skill enables dynamic content generation within Obsidian Web Clipper templates by allowing conditionals, loops, variable assignments, and fallbacks. This means you can tailor note content and property values based on source data presence, iterate over arrays like instructions or tags, and set defaults when data is missing. It reduces manual cleanup and improves template flexibility by automating content structure based on input variability.

Who it's for

This skill is designed for performance marketers and growth leads who manage content-driven campaigns requiring consistent, scalable note-taking workflows. SEO operators and PPC specialists benefit from Logic’s ability to automate data formatting and conditional content display, especially when integrating structured schema data into research or reporting notes. Agencies handling multiple clients can use Logic to streamline templated documentation with variable data quality.

Key workflows

A typical workflow starts by defining conditionals that include or exclude sections depending on whether key variables like author names or images exist. Next, marketers assign variables to avoid repeating complex selectors for structured data, improving template clarity and maintenance. Loops come into play to iterate over arrays such as recipe ingredients or steps, allowing batch processing of lists within notes. Finally, fallbacks ensure templates output readable defaults when primary data fields are empty, maintaining professional presentation despite missing inputs.

Common questions

How do conditionals work in templates? They evaluate variables in a JavaScript-like truthiness model to decide whether to render content blocks. Can loops be nested? Yes, nested loops allow iterating over arrays within arrays, useful for complex structured data. What happens with missing data? Fallbacks provide default values or chained alternatives to prevent blank outputs in templates.

How to use in Metaflow

Attach the Logic skill to any Metaflow agent task that generates or formats content using Obsidian Web Clipper templates to enable dynamic template rendering based on source data conditions. Expect more robust and adaptable note outputs that automatically handle variable input completeness and structure.
