What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the hassle of manually maintaining tables, cards, and filtered lists by generating consistent, database-like views from your Obsidian notes using a single .base file.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and edit Obsidian Bases (.base files): Define filters, properties, and views in one place so your dashboards stay in sync with your notes.
  • Use formulas for computed properties: Add calculated fields (e.g., due dates, status labels, derived metrics) and reuse them across multiple views.
  • Build targeted views with validation: Produce table/cards/list/map views with ordering, grouping, limits, and summaries, while catching common YAML and formula issues.

Quick Start

Create a .base file in your vault, add global filters and at least one table view with an ordered list of properties, then preview it in Obsidian to confirm the view renders correctly.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create filtered dashboards from Obsidian notes?

Obsidian bases generate filtered, database-like views by defining filters, formulas, and properties in a single .base file, turning scattered notes into live dashboards for task tracking and reading lists.

What is the best way to build a task tracker using Obsidian Bases?

Building a task tracker involves creating a .base file with YAML frontmatter, applying filters for specific statuses, adding formula-driven computed fields for due dates, and configuring an ordered table view to display summaries.

Can I use formulas for computed properties in Obsidian .base files?

Formulas in Obsidian .base files allow you to add calculated fields like derived metrics and status labels, which can be reused across multiple views while following specific quoting rules and reference validation for property names.

Does Obsidian Bases support grouping and summaries in card views?

Obsidian Bases support table, cards, list, and map views with structured ordering, grouping, limits, and summaries, ensuring your dashboards stay in sync with your notes through validated YAML configurations.

Why is my Obsidian .base file not rendering correctly?

Obsidian .base files may fail to render due to invalid YAML syntax, incorrect quoting rules, or failed reference validation for formula and property names, requiring a root-level SKILL definition with proper frontmatter.
