Bases CMS Project Skill

Manage your notes in bases like a content management system. This plugin provides a CMS-like experience within Obsidian, focusing on structural organization and metadata-driven workflows.

Core Architecture

• Structured Data: Focuses on treating folders/notes as a structured database or "base".
• Heavy UI Layer: Uses an extensive 42KB styles.css to transform standard Obsidian views into CMS-like interfaces.
• Metadata Orchestration: Heavily relies on frontmatter and folder structures to define content relationships.

Project-Specific Conventions

• "Base" Concept: All logic revolves around the definition and management of a "Base" (CMS-like view).
• Rich UI: High preference for custom modals and specialized views over standard Obsidian commands.
• Modern API: Requires minAppVersion: 1.10.2, utilizing modern Obsidian UI capabilities.

Key Files

• src/main.ts: Entry point for the CMS logic and view registration.
• manifest.json: Plugin identification and modern version requirements (bases-cms).
• styles.css: Massive CSS payload for the CMS layout and custom components.
• esbuild.config.mjs: Complex build configuration for bundling CMS components.

Maintenance Tasks

• Layout Stability: Check CMS views for breaking layout changes in Obsidian's DOM.
• Performance: Monitor main thread performance when processing large "Bases".
• Documentation: Keep README synchronized with the evolving CMS feature set.
