obsidian-bases

To create an Obsidian base, you define a .base file using YAML syntax to specify properties, filters, formulas, and views like table or cards. This Skill guides you through the schema creation and tests the rendering within Obsidian.

Obsidian bases support table, cards, list, and map view types. You can configure these views in your .base file to display notes in different layouts, with the map view requiring the Maps community plugin.

Yes, Obsidian bases support YAML-based formulas to organize notes dynamically. The Skill embeds references for common formulas and validates the YAML syntax to ensure correct rendering in Obsidian.

The Obsidian map view requires the Maps community plugin to function. You need this plugin installed in your Obsidian vault to render map views defined in your .base files.

Obsidian base files fail to render when the YAML syntax is invalid. This Skill enforces YAML syntax rules for sections like filters, properties, and views, and provides validation to catch errors before testing in Obsidian.

The best way to structure YAML properties in an Obsidian base is to use dedicated sections for properties, filters, formulas, and views. This Skill enforces these YAML syntax rules and validates the schema to ensure proper rendering.
