Obsidian Query Skill
Local HTTP API running on localhost:27180 for querying Obsidian vault data.
Usage
# Generic query: query.py <Base> [View]
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py Tasks
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py Tasks "By Project"
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py Goals "Every morning"
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py Journals "Weekly Review"
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py Experiments
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py People
# Utility commands
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py bases # List all bases & views
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py backlinks <file> # Who links here?
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py frontmatter <file> # Get metadata
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py status # API health check
Discover Bases & Views
First, list available bases and their views:
python3 .claude/skills/obsidian-query/scripts/query.py bases
Output:
Goals: Current, Every morning, Every week, All
Journals: All Entries, Last 7 Days, Weekly Review
Tasks: Active Tasks, By Project, All Tasks
Then query any base with optional view:
query.py Tasks # All fields (auto-discovered)
query.py Tasks "Active Tasks" # Fields from view's order config
query.py Tasks "By Project" # Grouped by project
How It Works
The script reads view configuration from the API:
order- which fields to display (from view config)groupBy- how to group entries (from view config)- If no view specified, auto-discovers all fields from entries
No hardcoded logic - all rendering driven by Base definition.
API Endpoints
GET /status # Health check
GET /bases # List all bases
GET /bases/:name # Query base (default view)
GET /bases/:name?view=ViewName # Query base with specific view
GET /backlinks/:path # Who links to this file?
GET /frontmatter/:path # Get file metadata
Response Structure
{
"base": "Templates/Bases/Tasks.base",
"views": ["Active Tasks", "By Project", "All Tasks"],
"activeView": "By Project",
"groupBy": {"property": "project", "direction": "ASC"},
"order": ["file", "status", "due"],
"count": 8,
"entries": [...]
}
