Obsidian Bases Skill
Build database views of your vault with filters, formulas, and summaries. No plugin code.
What it does
Wraps the Obsidian Bases schema for `.base` files: filters by tag, folder, property, or date; formulas for computed columns; grouped tables, cards, lists, and maps; property display names and summary aggregations. Validates the YAML and formula references before you open it.
Use it when Dataview queries are overkill or brittle, when a view needs to be editable by non-technical users, or when the vault has enough structured notes (people, tasks, decisions) that a real database surface pays off.
Outputs a valid `.base` file that Obsidian renders as a working database view, with filters scoped correctly and formulas resolving. Pairs with `obsidian-markdown` (the note properties bases read) and `obsidian-cli` (scripted operations on the notes behind the view).
