What are Obsidian Bases files?

Obsidian Bases (.base files) are YAML-based configuration files that define dynamic, database-like views of your notes, supporting tables, cards, and complex filtering.

Can this skill help with complex date calculations?

Yes, it supports advanced date arithmetic, including calculating days until due dates, formatting timestamps, and handling Duration types for time tracking.

How do filters work in this skill?

Filters use a flexible syntax that can be applied globally or per-view, supporting recursive logic blocks (and/or/not) and operators like equals, contains, and regex-like functions.

Does it support different visualization formats?

The skill can configure several view types, specifically Table, Cards, List, and Map views, each with its own sorting and property ordering.
