Can I perform calculations on my note properties?

Absolutely. This skill can define formulas for computed properties, allowing you to perform arithmetic, date formatting, and conditional logic on your note data.

What is an Obsidian Base file?

An Obsidian Base (.base) file is a YAML-formatted file that defines dynamic, database-style views of your notes, allowing for structured data visualization within your vault.

Productivity & Workflow

Architects and manages Obsidian Base files to create dynamic, database-like views for personal knowledge management.

The Obsidian Bases skill enables Claude Code to programmatically create and refine .base files within an Obsidian vault. These YAML-based configurations allow users to treat their markdown notes like structured data, generating dynamic views such as tables, cards, and lists. By leveraging this skill, users can automate the setup of complex filters, custom formulas for computed properties, and data summaries, transforming a standard note collection into a powerful, interactive database system for project tracking, research, and personal organization.
