# Send Qmd 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. 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.
```
### 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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## 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 <num>: number of results
-c, --collection <name>: restrict to a collection
--all --min-score <num>: 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

Automate indexing so results stay current as you add/edit notes.

For keyword search (qmd search), qmd update is usually enough (fast).
If you rely on semantic/hybrid search (vsearch/query), you may also want qmd embed, but it can be slow.

Example schedules (cron):

# Hourly incremental updates (keeps BM25 fresh):
0 * * * * export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" && qmd update

# Optional: nightly embedding refresh (can be slow):
0 5 * * * export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" && qmd embed

If your Clawdbot/agent environment supports a built-in scheduler, you can run the same commands there instead of system cron.

### 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?".
