How does filtering work in Obsidian Bases?

Filters can be applied globally or per-view using a recursive structure with 'and', 'or', and 'not' operators to query specific note properties.

Can I use formulas within these views?

Yes, the skill supports a wide range of formula functions for arithmetic, conditional logic, date formatting, and string manipulation.

What is an Obsidian Base file?

An Obsidian Base (.base) file is a YAML-formatted file that defines dynamic, database-like views of notes within an Obsidian vault, allowing for tables, cards, and lists.

What view types are supported by the Obsidian Bases skill?

It supports Table, Cards, List, and Map views, each with customizable ordering, grouping, and property displays.

Does it support file metadata like creation dates?

Yes, the skill can access file properties such as file.name, file.mtime, file.size, and file.tags for use in filters and views.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Creates and manages dynamic database-like views for Obsidian notes using the .base file format and YAML configurations.

Acerca de

This skill empowers users to organize their Obsidian vaults into structured, dynamic views by automating the creation and editing of .base files. It provides a comprehensive interface for defining multi-view configurations—including Table, Cards, List, and Map views—while supporting advanced logic filters, custom formulas for computed properties, and sophisticated data summaries. Whether you are building a project dashboard or a complex knowledge base, this skill handles the specific YAML schema and functional syntax required to transform static notes into a functional personal database.
