Does it support date and time calculations?

Absolutely. You can use formulas to calculate durations, format dates using Moment.js patterns, and determine time differences like 'days until due' or 'days since created'.

What is an Obsidian Base file?

A .base file is a YAML-based configuration used in Obsidian to create dynamic, database-like views of your notes, such as tables, lists, or card galleries, based on specific metadata.

Can I use complex logic in filters with this skill?

Yes, this skill supports nested AND, OR, and NOT operations, allowing you to precisely target notes based on tags, folders, links, or custom frontmatter properties.

Can I render these views inside my existing markdown notes?

Yes, the skill can help you create .base configurations that can be embedded directly within markdown code blocks for seamless integration into your vault's pages.

How does the skill handle note properties?

It can access three types of properties: standard file metadata (like name and size), note frontmatter (like author or status), and custom formula-based properties computed on the fly.
