1# Wiki Dashboard — Dynamic Vault Views
2 
3Two tools available: **Obsidian Bases** (native, GUI-driven, no plugin) and **Dataview** (community plugin, SQL-like, more powerful). Check which the user has and prefer Bases unless they ask for Dataview or need GROUP BY / computed columns.

5## Before You Start

7**Writing profile:** Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown, read and apply the `Writing Profile Resolution` section in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md`. Framework schema, provenance, safety, and operation-specific requirements take precedence.
8Apply `WRITING.md` preferences only to optional Markdown dashboard prose; `.base` syntax remains unchanged.

101. **Resolve config** — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md` (inline `@name` override → walk up CWD for `.env` → global config → prompt setup). This gives `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH`.
112. Read `$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/index.md` to understand what categories and pages exist.
123. Ask the user what they want to view if not specified — folder, tag, category, date range?
134. Ask if they have Dataview installed if you're unsure which tool to use.
