This local search skill is broadly coherent, but it can index large private folders, run a background Khoj service, create cron-based sync jobs, and expose or send document-derived content beyond the local machine if configured carelessly.
Install only if you are comfortable running a local Khoj RAG service over selected folders. Bind the service to 127.0.0.1, avoid anonymous mode for sensitive indexes, keep KHOJ_URL local unless you intentionally trust a remote server, and do not enable scheduled sync on broad or sensitive directories without understanding that it will keep processing files in the background. Treat cloud chat mode as potentially sending queries and relevant document excerpts to the configured LLM provider.
