/install qmd
Description
Local search/indexing CLI (BM25 + vectors + rerank) with MCP mode.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust the external qmd GitHub package. Add narrow, intentional collections rather than broad home-directory paths, avoid indexing secrets, and use MCP mode or non-local Ollama endpoints only with clients 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 purpose and capability fit: it tells the agent to install and use qmd for user-directed local file indexing and BM25/vector/hybrid search. Reading selected local files is expected for this purpose.
Instruction Scope
The instructions are short CLI examples for adding collections, updating an index, checking status, searching, and running MCP mode. I found no hidden directives, prompt-injection text, destructive commands, or automatic execution instructions.
Install Mechanism
Installation delegates to an external GitHub-hosted Node package at https://github.com/tobi/qmd and creates a qmd binary. That is disclosed, but the skill artifact itself contains only SKILL.md, so installing requires trusting the external package source.
Credentials
Local Ollama use via OLLAMA_URL and MCP mode are proportionate to the stated search/rerank workflow, but non-local Ollama endpoints or untrusted MCP clients could expose queries or indexed content.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill discloses persistent local index storage under ~/.cache/qmd. It does not request credentials, elevated permissions, privileged paths, or background persistence in the provided 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
