Obsidian Bases Skill

Workflow

  1. Create the file: Create a .base file in the vault with valid YAML content
  2. Define scope: Add filters to select which notes appear (by tag, folder, property, or date)
  3. Add formulas (optional): Define computed properties in the formulas section
  4. Configure views: Add one or more views (table, cards, list, map, or kanban) with order specifying which properties to display
  5. Validate: Verify the file is valid YAML with no syntax errors. Check that all referenced properties and formulas exist. Common issues: unquoted strings containing special YAML characters, mismatched quotes in formula expressions, referencing formula.X without defining X in formulas
  6. Test in Obsidian: Open the .base file in Obsidian to confirm the view renders correctly. If it shows a YAML error, check quoting rules below. If it doesn't open as a base at all, check that Bases is turned on in Settings → Core plugins

Schema

Base files use the .base extension and contain valid YAML.
