Build Obsidian Bases for Notes
Obsidian Bases can be hard to configure because views, filters, and formulas share strict YAML rules. This skill helps create usable Bases files and troubleshoot common formula errors.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Create a task dashboard
Build a Base that filters task notes, groups active work, and summarizes due dates.
Organize research notes
Create reading lists or literature views with author, status, date, and computed fields.
Maintain a vault index
Design Bases that expose daily notes, project folders, or tagged content in structured views.
Try These Prompts
Create an Obsidian Base for notes tagged project. Show file name, status, owner, and due date in a table view.
Design a Base for task notes. Add formulas for days until due and overdue status, then summarize active tasks by status.
Review this Obsidian Base and explain why it fails. Fix quoting, missing formulas, and duration calculations while preserving the views.
Create a Base with active projects, completed work, reading items, and recent daily notes. Use separate views and clear display names.
Best Practices
- Quote formulas that contain nested strings or YAML special characters.
- Define every formula before referencing it in properties, order, or summaries.
- Use narrow filters first, then add formulas and summaries after the view renders.
Avoid
- Do not reference formula fields before adding them to the formulas section.
- Do not subtract dates and round the duration without selecting a numeric field.
- Do not assume every note has the same frontmatter properties.
