Qmd
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This skill is coherent for local Markdown search, but users should notice that it installs an external CLI, indexes private local notes, and optionally runs scheduled re-indexing.
Install only if you are comfortable adding the qmd CLI from the referenced GitHub project. When setting it up, index narrow Markdown folders rather than broad home or work directories, and be cautious with full-document retrieval and optional cron-based re-indexing.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Installing the skill may add a globally available command from an external source, so future behavior depends on that package.
The skill directs users to install an external CLI globally from a GitHub URL. This is central to the skill's purpose, but the install is not pinned to a specific version or release in the provided artifact.
`bun install -g https://github.com/tobi/qmd`
Review the qmd project source or pin to a trusted release before installing, especially on machines with sensitive notes.
If broad or sensitive folders are indexed, the agent may later search or retrieve private Markdown content from those collections.
The setup indexes local Markdown files into searchable collections, and later commands can retrieve matching documents. This is the intended function, but it may create a reusable index over private notes.
qmd collection add /path/to/notes --name notes --mask "**/*.md"
Index only the folders you intend the agent to search, use collection restrictions such as `-c notes`, and avoid returning full documents unless needed.
Scheduled indexing can keep scanning indexed folders in the background until the schedule is removed.
The skill provides optional cron examples for recurring index updates. This is disclosed maintenance behavior, but it is a form of persistence if the user installs the schedule.
0 * * * * export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" && qmd update
Use scheduled updates only if you want ongoing indexing, and keep track of any cron or agent scheduler entries so they can be disabled later.
