SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Many Obsidian users need database-style views, filters, formulas, and summaries for their notes but find it hard to author valid .base YAML files, wire formulas to views, and troubleshoot YAML or formula errors that prevent views from rendering.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Author .base files: Step-by-step guidance to create filters, define formulas, configure properties, and add table, cards, list, or map views.
  • Validation & Troubleshooting: Quoting rules, duration handling, formula guards, and checks for undefined formulas or missing properties to prevent YAML or runtime errors.
  • Practical Example: Build a task tracker base that filters tasks by tag, shows a table view with priority and due dates, and computes days until due with a reusable formula.

Quick Start

Use the obs-obsidian-bases skill to create a .base file that lists notes tagged task and shows a table view with status, due_date, and a computed days_until_due column.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create Obsidian Bases with database-like views and filters?▼

Obsidian Bases are created by authoring valid YAML .base files that define database-like views, filters, formulas, and summaries for your notes. You can configure table, cards, list, or map views and filter notes by tags, folders, properties, or dates.

What are Obsidian Bases and when do I need them for my vault?▼

Obsidian Bases provide database-style views, filters, formulas, and summaries for notes in your vault. You need them when you want to assemble table, cards, list, or map views and compute values dynamically using formulas.

How do I fix YAML or formula errors preventing my Obsidian Base from rendering?▼

YAML or formula errors in Obsidian Bases are fixed by applying correct quoting rules, duration handling, and formula guards to ensure all formula properties have matching definitions and no undefined formulas or missing properties exist.

Can I compute custom columns like days until due in an Obsidian Base?▼

Yes, you can compute custom columns in Obsidian Bases by defining reusable formulas in the .base YAML file. A practical example is building a task tracker that computes a days_until_due column based on a due_date property.

Do I need any plugins or dependencies to use Obsidian Bases?▼

Obsidian Bases require valid YAML .base files applied to Obsidian vaults. The metadata lists no external dependencies, so the core functionality relies on properly structured YAML with matching formula definitions and correct quoting.
