Mechanism

When It Triggers · How It Works · What It Produces

Breaks down how the skill works and what it produces, so you can quickly judge whether it fits your scenario and value.

Trigger Timing

When the user works with .base files in Obsidian, wants database-like views of notes, or mentions Bases, table/card views, filters, or formulas.

Working Mechanism

Guide creation of a .base YAML file with filters, formulas, properties, summaries, and views (table/cards/list/map)
Provide schema, filter syntax, formula functions, and validation rules to avoid YAML and reference errors
Supply complete examples (e.g., task tracker, reading list) for copying and testing in Obsidian

Outcome

A valid .base file rendering structured, filterable, formula-driven views of vault notes, improving note organization and query efficiency.

Use Cases

Two Typical Use Cases

Scenario 01

Build reading list views in Obsidian

A researcher with hundreds of markdown notes wants to track reading progress. Using this skill, they create a Reading List Base with filters by tag, formulas for reading time, and card/table views. It solves scattered note overview and brings clear visual management of books/articles.

Scenario 02

Create task tracker base for vault

A project manager needs to monitor tasks across notes. They use the skill to make a Task Tracker Base with status filters, overdue formulas, and grouped tables. It solves manual task collection and brings automated, always-updated task dashboards inside the vault.
