Obsidian Bases enable powerful, reusable views of your notes, but creating and maintaining .base files with consistent views, filters, and calculations can be error-prone and time-consuming.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and edit Obsidian Base files (.base) to define multiple views (table, cards, list) and configure global filters, formulas, properties, and custom summaries.
  • Reuse bases across vaults and projects to build database-like dashboards for notes, organize research, and summarize content with custom summaries.
  • Use Case: When notes need structured views and quick insights, this skill provisions a Base configuration that surfaces key metadata and relationships.

Quick Start

Use this skill to generate a base named "MyNotes.base" with a single table view showing file.name and a computed status.
