SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Helps users define, validate, and maintain Obsidian Bases (.base files) so collections of notes can be presented as reliable database-like views without YAML or formula errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

View configuration: Define table, cards, list, or map views with ordered properties and optional grouping and limits.
Filtering and scope: Apply global or view-specific filters by tag, folder, property, or date to select notes precisely.
Formulas and summaries: Create reusable formulas and summary calculations (Average, Sum, Earliest, etc.) and ensure referenced formulas exist.
Validation guidance: Detect common YAML quoting and formula mistakes and verify property and function usage against a functions reference.

Quick Start

Create a new .base file, add filters and at least one view with order and formulas, validate the YAML and formula references, then open the file in Obsidian to confirm the view renders correctly.
