Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

# Install the skill clawhub install asabove/qmd-memory # Run setup (installs QMD, configures collections) openclaw skill run qmd-memory setup # That's it. Your memory is now supercharged.
Based on your workspace structure, we create optimized collections: β workspace β Core agent files (MEMORY.md, SOUL.md, etc.) β daily-logs β memory/*.md daily logs β intelligence β intelligence/*.md (if exists) β projects β projects/**/*.md (if exists) β documents β Any additional doc folders you specify
We add context to each collection so QMD understands what's where: qmd://workspace β "Agent identity and configuration files" qmd://daily-logs β "Daily work logs and session history" qmd://intelligence β "Analysis, research, and reference documents"
# Auto-update index (nightly at 3am) 0 3 * * * qmd update && qmd embed # Keep your memory fresh without thinking about it
Memory search now uses QMD automatically: memory_search β routes to QMD hybrid search memory_get β retrieves from QMD collections Results include collection context
# Start shared memory server openclaw skill run qmd-memory serve # All your agents can now query collective memory # Forge, Thoth, Axis β shared knowledge base
