Calls curl and npm

What it does

Qmd is an agent skill from benoror/obsidianos_work. Search vault notes by keyword or meaning. Args: <query. Uses QMD (lex, vec, deep search).

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/mcp-setup.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires qmd CLI or MCP server. Install via npm install -g @tobilu/qmd.

The repository describes itself as: ObsidianOS - Work Vault. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/qmd”

Requirements

Node.js
Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires qmd CLI or MCP server. Install via `npm install -g @tobilu/qmd`.
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(qmd:*), mcp__qmd__*

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c7923e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash(qmd:*)
- mcp__qmd__*
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Requires qmd CLI or MCP server. Install via `npm install -g @tobilu/qmd`.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Qmd loads about 858 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 262 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~858
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Status

MCP: `query`

json

{
  "searches": [
    { "type": "lex", "query": "CAP theorem consistency" },
    { "type": "vec", "query": "tradeoff between consistency and availability" }
  ],
  "collections": ["docs"],
  "limit": 10
}

Query Types

Type	Method	Input
`lex`	BM25	Keywords — exact terms, names, code
`vec`	Vector	Question — natural language
`hyde`	Vector	Answer — hypothetical result (50-100 words)

Writing Good Queries

lex (keyword)

2-5 terms, no filler words
Exact phrase: "connection pool" (quoted)
Exclude terms: performance -sports (minus prefix)
Code identifiers work: handleError async

vec (semantic)

Full natural language question
Be specific: "how does the rate limiter handle burst traffic"
Include context: "in the payment service, how are refunds processed"

hyde (hypothetical document)

Write 50-100 words of what the answer looks like
Use the vocabulary you expect in the result

expand (auto-expand)

Use a single-line query (implicit) or expand: question on its own line
Lets the local LLM generate lex/vec/hyde variations
Do not mix expand: with other typed lines — it's either a standalone expand query or a full query document

Combining Types

Goal	Approach
Know exact terms	`lex` only
Don't know vocabulary	Use a single-line query (implicit `expand:`) or `vec`
Best recall	`lex` + `vec`
Complex topic	`lex` + `vec` + `hyde`

First query gets 2x weight in fusion — put your best guess first.

Lex Query Syntax

Syntax	Meaning	Example
`term`	Prefix match	`perf` matches "performance"
`"phrase"`	Exact phrase	`"rate limiter"`
`-term`	Exclude	`performance -sports`

Note: -term only works in lex queries, not vec/hyde.

Collection Filtering

json

{ "collections": ["docs"] }              // Single
{ "collections": ["docs", "notes"] }     // Multiple (OR)

Omit to search all collections.

Other MCP Tools

Tool	Use
`get`	Retrieve doc by path or `#docid`
`multi_get`	Retrieve multiple by glob/list
`status`	Collections and health

CLI

bash

qmd query "question"              # Auto-expand + rerank
qmd query $'lex: X\nvec: Y'       # Structured
qmd query $'expand: question'     # Explicit expand
qmd search "keywords"             # BM25 only (no LLM)
qmd get "#abc123"                 # By docid
qmd multi-get "journals/2026-*.md" -l 40  # Batch pull snippets by glob
qmd multi-get notes/foo.md,notes/bar.md   # Comma-separated list, preserves order
