What is QMD Knowledge Manager?
The QMD Manager is an advanced local knowledge management skill designed specifically for professionals in project management, software testing, and content creation. By integrating this tool into your Openclaw Skills workflow, you gain the ability to perform high-speed BM25 and vector-based semantic searches across your local Markdown repositories.
This skill serves as a bridge between your static documentation and your AI agent, allowing for intelligent information retrieval that goes beyond simple keyword matching. Whether you are managing complex project frameworks or detailed testing methodologies, Openclaw Skills empowered by QMD provide a robust, private, and efficient way to query your internal brain.
QMD Knowledge Manager Use Cases
- Searching project management documentation and best practices for internal frameworks.
- Retrieving software testing methodologies and automation tool configurations during development cycles.
- Organizing and searching content creation assets for platforms like blogs and social media.
- Enhancing Openclaw Skills with a local, searchable secondary memory for technical specifications.
How QMD Knowledge Manager Works
- The user organizes their Markdown files into logical directory structures such as project management or software testing.
- The skill indexes these files using both BM25 for keyword relevance and vector embeddings for semantic meaning.
- Using Openclaw Skills tools like qmd_query, the agent performs hybrid searches across the collections.
- Search results are optionally reranked using an LLM to ensure the most contextually relevant information is presented first.
- The qmd_get tool allows the agent to fetch the full content of specific files for immediate use in the coding or planning process.
QMD Knowledge Manager Setup
Follow these steps to integrate the QMD manager into your local environment for use with Openclaw Skills:
# Install the QMD binary using Bun
brew install oven-sh/bun/bun && bun i -g https://github.com/tobi/qmd
# Initialize your knowledge base collection
/qmd add ./knowledge
# Generate vector embeddings for semantic search capabilities
/qmd embed
# Verify the status of your index
/qmd status
QMD Knowledge Manager Data Schema & Taxonomy
The QMD manager organizes data based on a collection-first taxonomy. Use the following structure to optimize your Openclaw Skills performance:
| Level | Description | Example Path |
|---|---|---|
| Collection | Top-level domain for the knowledge base. | ./knowledge/ |
| Category | Logical grouping of related documentation. | ./knowledge/project-management/ |
| Document | Markdown files containing specific technical knowledge. | ./knowledge/software-testing/automation-guide.md |
| Index | Local metadata and vector store files managed by QMD. | .qmd/ (internal storage) |
QMD Knowledge Manager Advanced Features
- Hybrid Search: Combines keyword-based BM25 with vector-based semantic search for maximum retrieval accuracy.
- Intelligent Reranking: Uses LLM logic to sort search results based on the specific intent of the query.
- Interactive TUI: Includes a Terminal User Interface browser for manual navigation of knowledge collections.
- Multi-Collection Management: Allows users to maintain separate, isolated knowledge bases for different projects within Openclaw Skills.
- Document Previews: Provides fast loading and previewing of large Markdown files without context window overflow.
