Obsidian Bases are .base files using root-level YAML to generate queryable note views with reusable filters, computed formula properties, and ordered summaries. You define global and view-specific filter logic, then render multiple view types like table, cards, list, or map.

Yes, Obsidian Bases support summary formulas to compute aggregate metrics like averages or date ranges. You apply formula references in properties and order definitions to calculate fields driven by frontmatter and file properties across your knowledge base.

Using Obsidian Bases (.base files) is an effective way to organize notes into table, cards, list, or map presentations. You define the view structure in YAML, apply filters to select specific notes, and use formulas to compute fields for quick insights.

Yes, valid root-level YAML is required to build Obsidian Bases. The YAML structure defines the filters, formulas, and views, and relies on references like FUNCTIONS_REFERENCE.md to ensure the function correctness of your queryable note views.

Obsidian Base formulas may not work if the root-level YAML is invalid or if function syntax is incorrect. The Skill relies on references like FUNCTIONS_REFERENCE.md to validate function correctness within properties and order definitions for computed fields and filters.

Yes, Obsidian Bases support both global and view-specific filter expressions. This allows you to apply different filter logic to individual table, cards, list, or map views within the same .base file while maintaining consistent formula properties.
