SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables you to create and edit Obsidian Base (.base) files to define dynamic views of notes, with configured filters, formulas, and summaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Base file creation & editing: Define YAML-based .base files that describe global filters, formulas, and multiple views.
  • View-driven organization: Create table, cards, or list views to present notes by tag, date, or property with computed summaries.
  • Real-world use case: Build a daily notes dashboard that shows the latest notes, word counts, and tag distribution across your vault.

Quick Start

Create a Base file named mybase.base that defines a table view of notes in the "Daily Notes" folder with a simple filter and a summary formula.

No dependencies are required to configure Obsidian Base files, as the Skill directly automates the creation and editing of YAML-based .base files using the native syntax.

How do global configurations work when filtering notes across multiple vaults?▼

Global configurations in a .base file define YAML-based filters and properties that apply across your vaults, establishing the baseline criteria for organizing notes into dynamic views.

Why are my Obsidian Bases formulas not displaying computed summaries correctly?▼

Obsidian Bases formulas might not display summaries correctly if the YAML syntax in the .base file is invalid, so verifying the defined properties and view configurations is essential.
