SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables fast, accurate search over indexed text corpora such as session logs, documents, and logs, replacing slow grep-based workflows with semantic ranking and relevance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic search over indexed text collections (sessions, docs, logs) with ranked results.
  • Flexible query modes: keyword search, vector similarity, and hybrid retrieval.
  • Use cases include quickly locating specific conversations, documents, or events across large archives and logs.

Quick Start

Run a basic query like: qmd search "OAuth error" to locate relevant items in the sessions collection, then refine with qmd vsearch for semantic similarity and qmd get to view results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search indexed text corpora with semantic ranking instead of grep?

To search indexed text corpora with semantic ranking, you can use qmd-backed indexing which replaces manual grep workflows by providing BM25 keyword search, vector similarity retrieval, and hybrid ranking across sessions, documents, and logs.

What is the best way to locate specific conversations in large session logs?

The best way to locate specific conversations in session logs is running a keyword query like qmd search "OAuth error" to find matches in the sessions collection, then refining the results using qmd vsearch for semantic similarity.

Can I perform hybrid retrieval combining keyword and vector search over local documents?

Yes, you can perform hybrid retrieval over local documents by combining BM25 keyword search with vector similarity. This approach provides ranked results across indexed text collections to quickly locate specific documents or events.

Does semantic search work with local collections of session logs and documents?

Semantic search works with local collections by using qmd-backed indexing to scan session logs and documents. It supports commands like qmd vsearch for vector similarity and qmd get to retrieve and view the matched results.

Why use semantic similarity for searching indexed text instead of manual grep workflows?

You use semantic similarity for searching indexed text because it provides relevance ranking and vector-based retrieval, which offers faster and more accurate results than slow manual grep workflows when locating events across large archives.

What are the limitations of using qmd commands for searching indexed text?

A limitation of using qmd commands for searching indexed text is that your sessions, documents, and logs must be properly indexed beforehand to enable BM25 and vector search retrieval across the local collections.
