Bump. Just ended up here. Installed DTTG over the weekend, DEVONsave yesterday. Worked once yesterday, now today–nothing…
It needs DTTG3, which is still in beta AFAIK.

I’ve updated the shortcut and provided instructions here:

Great! I downloaded it and I am using it (I even used this shortcut on your blogpost😅) You have a bug in your shortcut, the final shortcut refer to 2nd(devonsave by type) but you are using different name when referring to it, and Devonsave cannot find it
Thanks, tracking the same bug over on the MacPowerUsers forum discussion too. It should be right, but something funny is going on.
Were you able to select the right shortcut and get it to work?
Yes I edited it without problem.
Do you plan to build more shortcuts for DTTG?
I indexed my Obsidian notes in DT, I would like to build a shortcut to open them from DT in external markdown editor and save in place, but currently, I have very limited experience with Shortcuts 
Shortcuts is pretty easy to just play with and figure things out. That said, what you’re describing shouldn’t need shortcuts—I think most apps should do that from the share sheet as is. Depends on how they support iOS Files though.
The shortcut stopped working - when I used it on another page it asked me something , but I misclicked and now nothing happens when I try to use it, l also reinstalled it but this changed nothing , maybe I will try restart
Restart will work. Let me know if it happens again!
Poking around in the DEVONsave shortcut, I ran into this…
It doesn’t appear necessary when clipping from Safari, but I also don’t see it referenced or downloadable from the page on your site.

Thanks. I really don’t understand why this happens. The correct shortcut is “DEVONsave by type”, which is one of the three downloadable from the blog post. The version of the DEVONsave shortcut I use uses “DEVONsave by Type.” Yet, no matter how many times I recreate the iCloud link, it switches it to “identify type.”
If you switch that Run Shortcut action to the “by Type” option, it’ll work!

No problem. Thanks.
The shortcut stopped working on iOS 16. The process stuck on the sub shortcut “Devonsave: article to html for Devon”.
Hmm. I was just able to use it successfully, so I’m not sure what’s going on.
Worth noting, though, that updates in recent months to DEVONthink To Go and to iOS 16 make this shortcut less useful: you can now force Safari to share the current page as a PDF, for instance, and DT’s own PDF capture (and clutter-free PDF capture) have gotten better.
So if you’ve not tried those options, you might want to switch to using them for most things!
On the other hand, it is still nice to be able to customize the style of the outputted PDF. So if you figure out what the issue is, please let me know!

It is working for me since first iOS 16 beta. And final works as well. What happens so and the is it fails because perhaps it uses some online Apple cr*p that is not online.

I am very sorry to report that it is now again broken on my side with DTTG 3.5.6 and iOS16.1 (both iPadOS and iOS 16.1 (20B5056e))
I stepped trough the code to “Get DevonThink Item with destination” never returning (I have to manually stop execution). “destination” is standard: either “inbox” or “ x-devonthink-item://inbox” as got from DTTG
I have had that problem as well and it has nothing to do with the Shortcut itself. It happens because a) the scraping page is waiting forever for a needed part of the website that never arrives, and/or b) the service that provides the scrapping is offline.
Manually stopping is the recommended thing to do, because until the Shortcut is running, you cannot run any other and all Shortcut framework is blocked, and sometimes you must restart your iPhone to make it work one more time. Luckily, a couple of hours later you could receive a timeout message from Shortcuts.
But as said, this issue has nothing to do with this specific Shortcut but with the Shortcuts framework, that is basically a piece of crap.
