Dataview Skill

This skill enables Claude Code to create valid Dataview queries for dynamically listing and aggregating notes in Obsidian.

Overview

Dataview is a community plugin that treats an Obsidian vault as a database. It provides three query methods:

• DQL (Dataview Query Language) - SQL-like queries in code blocks
• Inline queries - Single-value queries embedded in text
• DataviewJS - JavaScript API for complex logic

Data Sources

Dataview indexes metadata from:

• Frontmatter (YAML properties)
• Inline fields in note body
• Implicit fields (file metadata)
• Tags and links
