Local semantic search improves memory recall by replacing grep-based lookups with a QMD backend. This Skill indexes per-group memory directories, CLAUDE.md, and conversations to provide hybrid BM25 and vector search with LLM re-ranking directly on-device.

Yes, QMD memory search operates entirely locally without external API keys. It performs on-device ranking using hybrid BM25, vector search, and LLM re-ranking to keep your memory archiving process private and self-contained.

The best way to search across multiple group memory directories is indexing them with a local QMD MCP server. It scales memory recall by indexing groups/*/memory, conversations, and CLAUDE.md files for comprehensive hybrid search.

To install QMD as an MCP server for ClaudeClaw, configure the server locally and index all group memory directories. Once indexed, switch ClaudeClaw to use the QMD memory search backend to enhance long-memory recall.

Yes, QMD memory search provides a graceful fallback. If the QMD server is unavailable, the system automatically reverts to the standard grep-based memory search to ensure continuous operation.

Local memory archiving needs hybrid BM25 and vector search to improve recall accuracy across large groups and conversations. Combining keyword matching with semantic vectors and LLM re-ranking yields better agent responses than grep alone.
