What problem does it solve?
Searching large, indexed text corpora with grep-style techniques is slow, noisy, and error-prone because indexed files (especially JSONL session logs) are difficult to interpret without the right retrieval layer.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Ranked discovery with qmd: Use qmd status and discovery commands to search and retrieve relevant indexed passages across session logs, notes, docs, and other corpora.
- Correct command selection: Prefer qmd search for exact clues, qmd query for conceptual/weak lexical matches, and qmd vsearch only for pure semantic similarity.
- Guided session inspection workflow: Locate candidate sessions in the sessions collection, inspect transcripts with qmd get, and recover exact raw details using original_session plus session-view tools when needed.
Quick Start
Tell the AI: use qmd search in the sessions collection to find the top matches for the phrase apply_edits error, return compact file paths, then inspect the best transcript.
