What is an Obsidian Base file?

An Obsidian Base (.base) is a YAML-formatted file used by the Obsidian Bases plugin to define how to filter, sort, and display notes in structured database-style views.

Does it support different view types like cards or maps?

Absolutely. This skill can configure Table, Cards, List, and Map views, including specific property ordering, grouping, and summary calculations.

How does this help with Obsidian organization?

It automates the creation of complex query filters and property configurations, making it easy to build high-level dashboards without manually writing tedious YAML code.

Can this skill create formulas for my Obsidian notes?

Yes, it can generate complex formula properties using arithmetic, conditional logic, and string formatting to calculate real-time values from your note metadata.
