Wiki Dashboard — Dynamic Vault Views
Two tools available: Obsidian Bases (native, GUI-driven, no plugin) and Dataview (community plugin, SQL-like, more powerful). Check which the user has and prefer Bases unless they ask for Dataview or need GROUP BY / computed columns.
Before You Start
Writing profile: Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown, read and apply the Writing Profile Resolution section in llm-wiki/SKILL.md. Framework schema, provenance, safety, and operation-specific requirements take precedence.
Apply WRITING.md preferences only to optional Markdown dashboard prose; .base syntax remains unchanged.
- Resolve config — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in
llm-wiki/SKILL.md(inline@nameoverride → walk up CWD for.env→ global config → prompt setup). This givesOBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH. - Read
$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/index.mdto understand what categories and pages exist. - Ask the user what they want to view if not specified — folder, tag, category, date range?
- Ask if they have Dataview installed if you're unsure which tool to use.
Option A — Obsidian Bases (.base files)
Bases are YAML files that define live views over vault notes. Native to Obsidian 1.8+, no plugin needed.
