qmd External Knowledge Base Search

Local hybrid search for markdown notes and docs. Use when searching notes, finding related content, or retrieving documents from indexed collections.

This skill appears to be what it says: a local Markdown search wrapper around the qmd binary. Before installing and using it, consider: (1) the install command pulls code from the qmd GitHub repo — review/trust the repo before running bun install -g; (2) on first runs qmd may download GGUF models and write them to ~/.cache/qmd/models (or XDG_CACHE_HOME) — expect network activity and significant disk and memory use if local LLMs are loaded; (3) only index directories you intend to expose to the tool (don’t point it at system or sensitive paths); and (4) if you plan to use scheduled reindexing or keep local models warm, consider running those jobs in an isolated environment or container. If any of the above is a concern, review the upstream project and run qmd manually in a controlled environment before granting the agent permission to invoke it automatically.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: qmd-external Version: 1.1.0 The skill bundle is classified as benign. It provides instructions for installing and using a local markdown search tool (`qmd`). While it includes instructions to set up a cron job for index maintenance (`qmd update && qmd embed` in SKILL.md), this is a transparent and legitimate function for keeping a local search index current. There is no evidence of intentional harmful behavior such as data exfiltration, unauthorized remote control, or malicious prompt injection against the agent; the agent instructions are focused on guiding the proper use of the `qmd` tool.
