How does filtering work in Obsidian Bases?

It uses a powerful syntax supporting logical operators like ==, !=, >, and <, which can be nested within AND, OR, and NOT blocks for granular control.

What view types are supported?

The skill can configure Table, Cards, List, and Map views, allowing for diverse ways to visualize and interact with your note data.

Does it work with standard Obsidian frontmatter?

Absolutely. It can pull data from note frontmatter (properties), file metadata (ctime, mtime, size), and custom formula-generated fields.

Can I create calculated fields with this skill?

Yes, the skill supports a comprehensive formula syntax for creating calculated properties like date differences, conditional icons, and string formatting.

What is an Obsidian .base file?

An Obsidian .base file is a YAML-based configuration file that defines dynamic database-like views of notes in your vault, including filters, formulas, and visual layouts.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Manages Obsidian Bases (.base files) to create dynamic, database-like views, filters, and formulas for your markdown notes.

Acerca de

The obsidian-bases skill empowers Claude Code to architect and maintain sophisticated data views within Obsidian vaults using .base files. It provides a structured way to transform static markdown files into dynamic databases through advanced YAML configurations, supporting multi-view layouts like tables and cards, complex formula-driven properties, and global or view-specific filters. This skill is essential for users looking to build task trackers, project dashboards, or knowledge management systems that require structured data visualization directly within their Obsidian environment.
