# Send qmd External Knowledge Base Search to your agent Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually. ## Fast path - Download the package from Yavira. - Extract it into a folder your agent can access. - Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder. ## Suggested prompts ### New install ```text I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete. ``` ### Upgrade existing ```text I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "qmd-external", "name": "qmd External Knowledge Base Search", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "效率提升", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/levineam/qmd-external", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/levineam/qmd-external", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/qmd-external", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=qmd-external", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "SKILL.md" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "slug": "qmd-external", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-05-01T21:32:51.102Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-08T21:32:51.102Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=qmd-external", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=qmd-external", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"qmd-external-1.1.0.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null, "slug": "qmd-external" }, "scope": "item", "summary": "Item download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/qmd-external" }, "validation": { "installChecklist": [ "Use the Yavira download entry.", "Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.", "Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets." ], "postInstallChecks": [ "Confirm the extracted package includes the expected docs or setup files.", "Validate the skill or prompts are available in your target agent workspace.", "Capture any manual follow-up steps the agent could not complete." ] } }, "links": { "detailUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/qmd-external", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/qmd-external", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/qmd-external/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/qmd-external/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/qmd-external/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### qmd - Quick Markdown Search Local search engine for Markdown notes, docs, and knowledge bases. Index once, search fast. ### When to use (trigger phrases) "search my notes / docs / knowledge base" "find related notes" "retrieve a markdown document from my collection" "search local markdown files" ### Default behavior (important) Prefer qmd search (BM25). It's typically instant and should be the default. Use qmd vsearch only when keyword search fails and you need semantic similarity (can be very slow on a cold start). Avoid qmd query unless the user explicitly wants the highest quality hybrid results and can tolerate long runtimes/timeouts. ### Prerequisites Bun >= 1.0.0 macOS: brew install sqlite (SQLite extensions) Ensure PATH includes: $HOME/.bun/bin Install Bun (macOS): brew install oven-sh/bun/bun ### Install bun install -g https://github.com/tobi/qmd ### Setup qmd collection add /path/to/notes --name notes --mask "**/*.md" qmd context add qmd://notes "Description of this collection" # optional qmd embed # one-time to enable vector + hybrid search ### What it indexes Intended for Markdown collections (commonly **/*.md). In our testing, "messy" Markdown is fine: chunking is content-based (roughly a few hundred tokens per chunk), not strict heading/structure based. Not a replacement for code search; use code search tools for repositories/source trees. ### Search modes qmd search (default): fast keyword match (BM25) qmd vsearch (last resort): semantic similarity (vector). Often slow due to local LLM work before the vector lookup. qmd query (generally skip): hybrid search + LLM reranking. Often slower than vsearch and may timeout. ### Performance notes qmd search is typically instant. qmd vsearch can be ~1 minute on some machines because query expansion may load a local model (e.g., Qwen3-1.7B) into memory per run; the vector lookup itself is usually fast. qmd query adds LLM reranking on top of vsearch, so it can be even slower and less reliable for interactive use. If you need repeated semantic searches, consider keeping the process/model warm (e.g., a long-lived qmd/MCP server mode if available in your setup) rather than invoking a cold-start LLM each time. ### Common commands qmd search "query" # default qmd vsearch "query" qmd query "query" qmd search "query" -c notes # Search specific collection qmd search "query" -n 10 # More results qmd search "query" --json # JSON output qmd search "query" --all --files --min-score 0.3 ### Useful options -n : number of results -c, --collection : restrict to a collection --all --min-score : return all matches above a threshold --json / --files: agent-friendly output formats --full: return full document content ### Retrieve qmd get "path/to/file.md" # Full document qmd get "#docid" # By ID from search results qmd multi-get "journals/2025-05*.md" qmd multi-get "doc1.md, doc2.md, #abc123" --json ### Maintenance qmd status # Index health qmd update # Re-index changed files qmd embed # Update embeddings ### Keeping the index fresh Set up a cron job or hook to automatically re-index. For example, a daily 5 AM reindex: # Via Clawdbot cron (isolated job, runs silently): clawdbot cron add \\ --name "qmd-reindex" \\ --cron "0 5 * * *" \\ --tz "America/New_York" \\ --session isolated \\ --message "Run: export PATH=\\"\\$HOME/.bun/bin:\\$PATH\\" && qmd update && qmd embed" # Or via system crontab: 0 5 * * * export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" && qmd update && qmd embed This ensures your vault search stays current as you add or edit notes. ### Models and cache Uses local GGUF models; first run auto-downloads them. Default cache: ~/.cache/qmd/models/ (override with XDG_CACHE_HOME). ### Relationship to Clawdbot memory search qmd searches your local files (notes/docs) that you explicitly index into collections. Clawdbot's memory_search searches agent memory (saved facts/context from prior interactions). Use both: memory_search for "what did we decide/learn before?", qmd for "what's in my notes/docs on disk?". ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: levineam - Version: 1.1.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-05-01T21:32:51.102Z - Expires at: 2026-05-08T21:32:51.102Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/qmd-external) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/qmd-external/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/qmd-external/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/qmd-external/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/qmd-external)
