## About

# Obsidian Bases

Use this skill when a capture should update navigation surfaces in an Obsidian
vault.

## Goal

New notes should not become isolated files. They should appear in at least one
navigation surface:

- domain `_index.md`
- project or domain MOC
- `capture-log.md` or `wiki-log.md`
- session MOC for multi-note captures
- Obsidian Bases/dashboard files when the vault already uses them

## Metadata For Views

Keep frontmatter consistent so Bases or Dataview-like views can filter notes:

```yaml
type: concept
domain: software-engineering
depth: working
scenario: S5
confidence: high
provenance: extracted
created: "2026-06-11"
updated: "2026-06-11"
tags:
  - domain/software-engineering
  - status/active
  - topic/debugging
```

## Index Updates

If a domain `_index.md` exists, add one row:

```markdown
| [[note-slug]] | concept | high | What this note teaches |
```

The description should explain the value of the note, not repeat tags.

## MOC Updates

If a relevant MOC exists, add a wikilink under the most specific heading. If no
heading fits, add to "Recent Notes" or "Open Gaps".

Do not create many new MOCs unless the capture creates a new stable domain or a
session with 3+ concepts.

## Session MOCs

Create a session MOC when 3+ concepts are captured together. It should include:

- concepts captured
- depth/type per concept
- connections discovered
- stub candidates

For domain onboarding, the domain learning map is the session MOC.

## Bases Compatibility

If the vault already contains Obsidian Bases files or dashboard conventions,
preserve and update them. Do not invent a Bases schema for users who do not have
one.
