SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Obsidian users struggle to view and navigate large vaults with unstructured notes. This skill enables turning frontmatter-based notes into live, queryable dashboards using Obsidian Bases, so you can quickly explore, filter, and organize knowledge. Requires Obsidian 1.8+ (Bases is a core plugin, no external install needed).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define database-style views over notes by filtering with folders, tags, or frontmatter properties, exposing selected fields as columns.
  • Render views as tables, cards, or lists, and sort/group by any property to gain quick insights.
  • Use cases include building a content index across the vault, tracking entities and projects, or generating dynamic overviews of knowledge.

Quick Start

Create a .base dashboard for my vault that turns frontmatter into a live, queryable view using Obsidian Bases.
