Model
gpt-5-mini
Summary
The skill's requirements and instructions match its stated purpose (local markdown search); it indexes local files and may download local models, which is expected behavior for this tool.
Guidance
This skill is internally consistent for local markdown search, but consider the following before installing: 1) qmd will index whatever directories you add — avoid indexing sensitive directories or configure masks to exclude secrets. 2) The recommended install uses Bun to fetch code from the project's GitHub repo and qmd may auto-download GGUF models into ~/.cache/qmd/models; ensure you trust the upstream project and have disk/network capacity. 3) If you schedule automatic updates/embeddings (cron or agent scheduler), those jobs will run qmd commands with the PATH you provide — be careful what PATH and environment you export in scheduled contexts. If you want extra assurance, install qmd manually from the official repo, verify checksums/releases, and test indexing on a small, non-sensitive subset of files first.
Findings
[no_regex_findings] expected: The package is instruction-only with no code files, so the regex scanner had nothing to analyze. This is expected; runtime behavior is driven by the qmd CLI invoked by the agent.

Review Dimensions

Purpose & Capability
okName/description, required binary (qmd), and instructions align: the skill is a wrapper for the qmd CLI and only needs that binary (and Bun for installation). Nothing requested is unrelated to local markdown search.
Instruction Scope
okSKILL.md instructs the agent to run qmd commands, add collections, and (optionally) schedule qmd update/embed. It explicitly operates on user-provided file paths and local caches. The only broader behavior is that qmd may auto-download GGUF models and will read/index files you point it at — this is coherent with its purpose but worth noting.
Install Mechanism
noteThe skill is instruction-only (no automatic install), but the README metadata recommends installing via Bun from the project's GitHub repo (bun install -g https://github.com/tobi/qmd) and suggests brew install sqlite for macOS. Installing via Bun from the repo and qmd's auto-download of GGUF models is a moderate-risk action (network downloads, large model files) but is expected for a local LLM-based search tool.
Credentials
okNo credentials or sensitive env vars are requested. The instructions reference PATH adjustments (e.g., $HOME/.bun/bin) and cache paths (~/.cache/qmd/models) which are proportional to running qmd. Note: indexing a directory will read local files you point it at — index contents should be chosen carefully.
Persistence & Privilege
okThe skill does not request always: true or other elevated platform privileges, nor does it instruct modifying other skills. It may be used to run long-lived processes or scheduled jobs (user-configured), which is normal for this use case.
