Wiki Dashboard

Turns your Obsidian vault into queryable dashboards using either native Bases (1.8+, no plugin) or the Dataview community plugin. You get filtered tables, cards, and grouped views over your notes by folder, tag, or frontmatter properties. The skill walks through config resolution to find your vault path, checks which tool you have available, then generates the appropriate YAML or dataview query block. Worth knowing: Bases use expression string filters that must wrap in `and:`/`or:`/`not:` (bare arrays break the parser), and `groupBy` goes inside each view definition, not at the top level. Good for "show me all my active projects" or "list concepts by domain" without manually maintaining index pages.

Wiki Dashboard — Dynamic Vault Views

Two tools available: Obsidian Bases (native, GUI-driven, no plugin) and Dataview (community plugin, SQL-like, more powerful). Check which the user has and prefer Bases unless they ask for Dataview or need GROUP BY / computed columns.

Before You Start

Writing profile: Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown, read and apply the Writing Profile Resolution section in llm-wiki/SKILL.md. Framework schema, provenance, safety, and operation-specific requirements take precedence. Apply WRITING.md preferences only to optional Markdown dashboard prose; .base syntax remains unchanged.

Resolve config — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in llm-wiki/SKILL.md (inline @name override → walk up CWD for .env → global config → prompt setup). This gives OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH.
Read $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/index.md to understand what categories and pages exist.
Ask the user what they want to view if not specified — folder, tag, category, date range?
Ask if they have Dataview installed if you're unsure which tool to use.
