/install qmd
Description
Local search/indexing CLI (BM25 + vectors + rerank) with MCP mode.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable running qmd from its GitHub source. Prefer a pinned commit or reviewed release if available, and only add collections for directories whose contents you intend to make searchable and cached locally.
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
Credentials
Local file indexing and a cache under ~/.cache/qmd are proportionate to a local search tool, but users should choose indexed paths carefully because selected file contents may be stored in the index.
Install Mechanism
The metadata installs the qmd executable from a mutable GitHub repository URL rather than a pinned revision or checksummed release, creating a supply-chain risk but not artifact-backed malicious behavior.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions are concise and user-directed; they do not ask the agent to override policy, hide behavior, exfiltrate data, or automatically index broad locations without user-specified paths.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill discloses persistent index storage under ~/.cache/qmd and does not request elevated privileges, scheduled tasks, hooks, or background persistence.
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is to index local files and search them using qmd, and the instructions only describe qmd indexing, search, retrieval, status, and MCP mode.
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
