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