Description
Local search/indexing CLI (BM25 + vectors + rerank) with MCP mode.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust the external qmd package source. Add narrow, intentional collections rather than broad home-directory paths, avoid indexing secrets, and use MCP mode or non-local Ollama endpoints only with tools and servers you trust.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: qmd
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle defines a local search/indexing CLI tool. The `SKILL.md` provides installation instructions for `qmd` from a seemingly legitimate GitHub repository (`https://github.com/tobi/qmd`) and outlines local CLI usage. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution instructions, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts, or obfuscation. All described operations are local and aligned with the stated purpose of a search/indexing tool.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is local search/indexing with BM25, vector search, reranking, and MCP mode; the documented commands add user-selected collections, update an index, search, and retrieve matching local documents, which fits that purpose.
Instruction Scope
The artifact contains short CLI usage instructions only. I found no hidden directives, prompt-injection text, destructive commands, automatic execution, credential capture, or unrelated behavior.
Install Mechanism
Installation is disclosed as a Node-based install from the external GitHub package https://github.com/tobi/qmd that provides the qmd binary. Users still need to trust that upstream package, but the skill does not conceal the install source.
Credentials
Reading local files and using Ollama for embeddings/rerank are proportionate to local search. If OLLAMA_URL points to a non-local server, queries or document-derived content may leave the machine.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill discloses persistent local index storage under ~/.cache/qmd. It does not request elevated privileges, credentials, privileged paths, or background persistence in the artifact.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install qmd - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/qmd - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
