Does this skill support complex filtering?

Absolutely. It supports nested boolean logic including AND, OR, and NOT operators to create highly specific views of your vault content.

What is an Obsidian Base file?

A .base file is a YAML-configured file used in Obsidian to define dynamic views of notes, allowing users to see their data in tables, cards, or lists based on specific filters.

Can Claude Code create formulas for my Obsidian data?

Yes, this skill provides Claude with the specific syntax needed to write arithmetic, date, and string formulas that calculate values across your Obsidian notes.

Is this skill compatible with standard Markdown?

Yes, while it primarily manages .base files, these configurations can also be embedded directly within Markdown code blocks in your Obsidian notes.
