What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Read and manipulate Obsidian Bases (.base) files - YAML-based database views that render as tables, cards, and grids inside the vault. Use when reading, appending rows, or updating cells in a Base file.

Obsidian Bases Manager

Status: Active Author: Richard Fremmerlid Domain: Obsidian Integration Depends On: obsidian-vault-crud (WP06)

Purpose

Obsidian Bases are .base files containing YAML that defines database-like views over vault notes. This skill enables agents to act as database administrators — reading, appending rows, and updating cell values while preserving the view configuration (columns, filters, sorts) untouched.

Available Commands

Read a Base

python ./bases_ops.py read --file <path.base>

Append a Row

python ./bases_ops.py append-row --file <path.base> --data key1=value1 key2=value2

Update a Cell

python ./bases_ops.py update-cell --file <path.base> --row-index 0 --column key1 --value "new value"

Safety Guarantees

  • Uses ruamel.yaml for lossless round-trip YAML parsing
  • All writes go through obsidian-vault-crud atomic write protocol
  • View configurations (columns, filters, sorts, formulas) are never modified
  • Malformed YAML triggers a clean error report, never a crash or data loss
