Rivya Prompt Clipper: capture text and prepare a brief

Rivya Prompt Clipper is an optional browser extension for turning selected webpage text into a structured brief. It assembles text locally; it does not call an AI model or produce an image, video, recording, or chat answer. You can also write directly in Rivya without the extension.

Capture a useful passage

These instructions describe extension version 0.1.0. Its interface and built-in brief structure are in English. The captured passage keeps its original language; the extension does not translate it. Its manifest requires Chrome 114 or later. This guide does not establish availability in an extension store.

1. Select the relevant passage on an ordinary webpage, then open the extension from the toolbar. Alternatively, choose Create Rivya prompt from the page's context menu, then open the toolbar popup to read the captured draft. The context-menu action does not open the popup itself.

2. Check Captured source. If no text was selected, the extension can use the page description instead. It also captures the page title and URL. With neither a selection nor a description, it produces a framework with missing-information instructions.

3. Choose Image, Video, Audio, or Chat. Correct the source text first, then edit the resulting brief. Use Refresh to capture the active page again when needed.

4. Click Copy prompt after your edits. The opening button changes to the selected type, such as Open Image or Open Audio / Voiceover. It opens Rivya; you still need to paste the copied text yourself.

Long selections are shortened during capture, and whitespace is collapsed. Compare the captured text with the passage you intended to use, especially when line breaks, figures, or qualifications matter. If the page cannot be read, copy the relevant passage manually and work in Rivya. Do not assume the extension can capture every browser page, document, frame, or protected viewer.

Turn the brief into the right input

The generated text includes instructions such as asking for an image prompt or an audio brief. This is a fixed text structure, not a model-written final prompt. It can be useful as an instruction for chat work, where you ask for a finished prompt and review the answer before using it elsewhere.

For direct image or video generation, replace instructions about writing a prompt with the actual subject, scene, motion, and constraints you want. For text-to-speech, enter the words that should be spoken; pasting the entire planning brief may cause its instructions to be read aloud. See audio workflows and prompt writing basics.

Review source claims and remove anything irrelevant or sensitive. The extension does not verify product details or other claims, attach the source page's images, or choose a specific AI model for you. Check the actual model and required files using model availability and references and uploads.

Copy before changing or closing the popup

Changing the prompt type, refreshing the page capture, or editing Captured source rebuilds the output and replaces manual edits in the output box. Copy your edited brief before doing any of these.

The extension remembers your preferred type locally. A context-menu capture is held temporarily for the popup and removed from that temporary slot when the popup consumes it. Ordinary output edits are not saved as a durable draft or added to your Rivya history. Keep important text in your own notes before closing the popup. Rivya's saved sessions have separate limits; they do not recover extension edits.

Open Rivya, paste, and check the request

The opening button creates a new tab for the selected public page: Image, Video, Audio, or Chat. It does not pass the brief, selected text, page title, or source URL in the destination URL. That URL includes extension attribution parameters, including utm_source=chrome_extension.

Opening the page does not paste the brief, upload files, choose a specific model, or submit a generation request. Paste the reviewed text and check the model, attachments, and settings. Sign in when required and inspect the estimated credits before sending. See public quick use and credits and billing.

The extension itself requires no Rivya login and spends no credits. Signing in, viewing a page, or uploading a reference is not by itself a paid generation request. Work you subsequently submit in Rivya follows the product's own account and task rules; look for your submitted records in history.

Understand permissions and the data boundary

The extension requests activeTab, contextMenus, scripting, and storage. These allow user-invoked capture of the active page, the right-click action, reading the selected text and page metadata, and local preference or temporary draft storage. The manifest has no broad host permissions, browsing-history permission, clipboard-read permission, or web-request interception permission. Copying writes text to the clipboard; it does not read the clipboard.

The local capture and brief-building code does not upload page content or call an AI service. It does not post comments, add backlinks, or alter pages for search rankings. Opening Rivya still makes an ordinary website visit with attribution parameters.

The copied brief can contain the captured page's title, URL, and text. Review those details before pasting or sharing it. Once you submit that text inside Rivya, it is handled as product input under the Privacy Policy, rather than remaining only inside the extension. For reusable examples that need no webpage capture, use the prompt library and showcase.
