Obsidian Base files (.base) can be complex to design and maintain for consistent, multi-view note organization. This Skill provides a structured way to create and edit YAML-based Base files, encapsulating views, filters, formulas, properties, and summaries in a single, reusable artifact.
Create a new base file named MyBase.base and begin adding at least one table view with a simple filter such as file.hasTag("note").

Obsidian Base files (.base) use YAML syntax to define dynamic note views with filters and formulas. Create a .base file, configure views (table, cards, list, or map), add global or per-view filters like file.hasTag("note"), and embed the base in Markdown frontmatter to display filtered notes as organized tables or lists.
Global filters apply to all views within a base file, narrowing the entire dataset. Per-view filters apply only to specific views, letting you present the same notes in different filtered contexts within a single base—useful for dashboards showing notes by status, date, or tag.
Yes. Obsidian Base YAML schema supports formulas to compute derived values and summaries to aggregate note properties within views. Configure these in your .base file alongside views and filters to customize display logic and roll-up calculations across your note collection.
Reference a .base file in Markdown frontmatter with a name and description property. The base then renders its configured views inline, allowing you to embed specific table, card, or list views directly into dashboards or knowledge base pages.
YAML bases are schema-enforced and single-file, which simplifies reuse but can become complex to maintain as view and filter rules grow. Performance depends on Obsidian's filtering engine; very large tag or property sets may require query optimization or base file restructuring.
No. Obsidian bases use declarative YAML syntax, not code. If you understand YAML indentation and basic filter expressions like file.hasTag("note"), you can build functional bases. The Skill provides structured guidance for schema compliance.
