Obsidian vaults can become unwieldy; this skill provides a way to render dynamic, queryable dashboards from vault frontmatter using Obsidian Bases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define database-style views with .base files to surface notes by folder, tag, or frontmatter property; choose view types (table, cards, list); and customize columns and computed fields for rapid insights.
  • Use cases include building a content index across the vault, tracking project pages, or listing concepts/entities with last-updated dates for quick health checks.
  • Example: build a dashboard that shows all projects with their status and last update in a single view.

Quick Start

Create a .base file that defines your desired vault view and embed it in a note to render a live dashboard.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a live dashboard from Obsidian vault frontmatter?

You can create dynamic dashboards from Obsidian vault frontmatter by generating a .base file with specific filters and columns configuration. Embedding this file in a note renders a live, queryable view as tables, cards, or lists.

Can I organize notes by tag and folder in Obsidian 1.8+?

Yes, you can organize notes by folder, tag, category, or date into database-style views. This workflow is compatible with Obsidian 1.8+ and uses .base files to surface your vault content dynamically.

What is the best way to track project pages in an Obsidian vault?

The best way to track project pages is building a dashboard that surfaces notes by frontmatter properties like status and last update date. This provides a single queryable view for rapid project health checks.

Does the wiki-dashboard skill require specific plugins to query notes?

No specific plugins are required to query notes because the skill generates native .base files. It relies on standard Obsidian Bases functionality to render database-style views directly from your frontmatter.

What view types can I configure for a .base dashboard definition?

You can configure table, cards, or list view types for a .base dashboard definition. This allows you to present filtered vault frontmatter as customized columns and computed fields for quick insights.

When should I not use .base files to organize my vault?

You should not use .base files to organize your vault if your notes lack structured frontmatter properties. The dynamic queryable dashboards rely entirely on existing frontmatter data to filter and generate columns effectively.
