Create and edit Obsidian Bases (.base files) with views, filters, formulas, and summaries. Use when working with .base files, creating database-like views of notes, or when the user mentions Bases, table views, card views, filters, or formulas in Obsidian.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Obsidian Bases
This skill enables Claude Code to create and edit valid Obsidian Bases (`.base` files) including views, filters, formulas, and all related configurations.
## Overview
Obsidian Bases are YAML-based files that define dynamic views of notes in an Obsidian vault. A Base file can contain multiple views, global filters, formulas, property configurations, and custom summaries.
## When to Use This Skill
- Creating database-like views of notes in Obsidian
- Building task trackers, reading lists, or project dashboards
- Filtering and organizing notes by properties or tags
- Creating calculated/formula fields
- Setting up table, card, list, or map views
- Working with .base files in an Obsidian vault
## File Format
Base files use the `.base` extension and contain valid YAML. They can also be embedded in Markdown code blocks.
## Complete Schema
```yaml
# Global filters apply to ALL views in the base
filters:
# Can be a single filter string
# OR a recursive filter object with and/or/not
and: []
or: []
not: []
# Define formula properties that can be used across all views
formulas:
formula_name: 'expression'

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260109.d473212, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
