obsidian-bases
Explain, draft, and validate Obsidian Bases .base files with filters, formulas, properties, summaries, and table, card, or list views. Use for Obsidian Bases, database-like vault views, dynamic tables, reading lists, task trackers, filters, formulas, summaries, and .base file edits.
npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian --skill obsidian-bases --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Obsidian Bases Use this as a compact workflow and fallback syntax reference. Prefer a separately installed `kepano/obsidian-skills` `obsidian-bases` skill, then the current [official Bases syntax](https://help.obsidian.md/bases/syntax), for detailed or version-sensitive fields and functions. Answer design and syntax questions read-only. For a requested `.base` edit, resolve the user vault and use one inspected transaction; never write the file directly. Resolve the installed product root from this skill's own location, not from the vault or current working directory: ```bash PRODUCT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/installed/claude-obsidian CORE="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/claude-obsidian.py" test -f "$CORE" ``` ## Workflow 1. Inspect representative note properties and any existing `.base` file. 2. Define the smallest filter that selects the intended notes. 3. Add formulas only for values that must be computed. 4. Choose views and display order. Do not assume a view type or option is supported by the user's Obsidian version or installed plugins. 5. Validate YAML, expression quoting, property names, formula references, and null handling. 6. Preview the complete file and expected result set befor

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian, a repository with 10,371 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
