Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Obsidian Bases Skill This skill enables skills-compatible agents 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. ## 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' # Configure display names and settings for properties properties: property_name: displayName: "Display Name" formula.formula_name: displayName: "Formula Display Name" file.ext: displayName: "Extension" # Define custom summary formulas summaries: custom_summary_name: 'values.mean().round(3)' # Define one or more views views: - type: table | cards | list | map name: "View Name"

Where does this skill come from?
From anbeime/skill, a repository with 4,714 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.
