From README

Obsidian Bases Skill Workflow Create the file: Create a .base file in the vault with valid YAML content Define scope: Add filters to select which notes appear (by tag, folder, property, or date) Add formulas (optional): Define computed properties in the formulas section Configure views: Add one or more views (table, cards, list, or map) with order specifying which properties to display Validate: Verify the file is valid YAML with no syntax errors. Check that all referenced properties and formulas exist. Common issues: unquoted strings containing special YAML characters, mismatched quotes in formula expressions, referencing formula.X without defining X in formulas Test in Obsidian: Open the .base file in Obsidian to confirm the view renders correctly. If it shows a YAML error, check quoting rules below Schema Base files use the .base extension and contain valid YAML. Filter Syntax Filters narrow down results. They can be applied globally or per-view.
