Folio Bases

Folio Bases is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from evergreen-it-dev/folio. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,049 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolset for reading and changing Obsidian Bases, which are saved queries and views over pages in an Obsidian space. It can inspect rows, properties, tags, filters, formulas, and views, and can save bases or update the page properties they display.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect Base views, find available properties and tags, create or replace Base files, query their rows, and change page values shown by a Base.
Why use it?
It clarifies that a Base is a query over pages rather than a separate data store. This helps prevent editing the view when the intended change belongs on the underlying page.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Folio Bases scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bases (kind: base)

A base is a .base file (Obsidian's YAML format): a saved query over the pages of a space, not a store of its own. Its rows are pages (only those the reader may open), its columns are their properties (front matter), file fields and formulas. To change a value in a base you change that page's property (set_page_properties with merge: true), not the base.

Tools

Tool What it does
read_page (base id) The YAML of the base
query_base The rows of one view: values by column, groups, summaries (view, limit, offset)
list_properties The property keys used in a space with their types and sample values — look here before writing a filter
list_tags The tags of a space, for file.hasTag(...) filters
save_base Create a base (path, e.g. "projects/tasks.base") or replace one (id + etag) from the whole yaml
set_page_properties Change the property a base shows, on the page itself

The file

filters:                     # which pages are rows (optional): and / or / not of expressions
  and:
    - file.inFolder("projects")
    - file.hasTag("task")
    - 'status != "done"'
formulas:                    # computed columns, used as formula.<name>
  overdue: 'due < today()'
views:
  - type: table              # table, cards or list
    name: Open tasks
    order:                   # the columns, in order
      - file.name
      - owner
      - status
      - due
      - formula.overdue
    sort:
      - property: due
        direction: ASC
    groupBy:
      property: owner
      direction: ASC
    limit: 100
  - type: cards
    name: By owner
    order: [file.name, owner]
  • Properties: a bare name or note.<key> is a front matter key (status, note.status); file.name, file.folder, file.path, file.ext, file.tags, file.mtime, file.ctime, file.size, file.links, file.backlinks are file fields; formula.<name> is a formula.
  • Expressions (filters and formulas): comparisons == != < > <= >=, &&, ||, !, arithmetic, strings in double quotes (quote the whole YAML line with single quotes when it contains " or :). Functions: file.hasTag("a"), file.inFolder("dir"), file.hasLink("Page"), file.hasProperty("key"), today(), now(), date("2026-10-01"), if(cond, a, b), list(x), x.isEmpty(), x.contains("y"), number(x), min(), max().
  • A view's own filters narrow the base's top-level filters further.
  • summaries per view map a column to a built-in summary — Sum, Average, Min, Max, Median, Range, Earliest, Latest, Checked, Unchecked, Empty, Filled, Unique — or to a key of the base's own top-level summaries (summaries: { estimate: Sum }).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
