How does filtering work in Obsidian Bases?

Filters can be applied globally or per-view. The skill uses a recursive object structure to combine multiple conditions using 'and', 'or', and 'not' logic to narrow down your notes.

Do I need a specific plugin to use these files?

Yes, this skill generates configurations compatible with the Obsidian Bases plugin, which renders these YAML files into interactive views inside Obsidian.

Can the skill handle complex data calculations?
