Set up and use qmd for semantic search over the user's /Brain. Use when user says 'set up qmd', 'install semantic search', 'reindex my brain', 'qmd search', or 'why is search falling back to grep'. NOT for: general file search outside /Brain, vector database setup, or debugging unrelated shell issues.
Copy to ~/.claude/skills/qmd-search.md — copy the skill content below and save it.
```bash npm install -g buildyourbrain byb init bun install -g @tobilu/qmd ```
```bash byb config byb reindex byb search "query" qmd status qmd query "query" -c brain --limit 5 ``` - Resolve the Brain path from `byb config` before troubleshooting search. - Prefer `byb reindex` over raw `qmd update` because it already runs in the configured Brain directory. - If `qmd` is missing, `byb search` falls back to grep. Treat that as degraded mode, not success. See [references/setup.md](references/setup.md) for install, validation, and failure-mode guidance.
```bash byb status qmd status byb search "memory" ```
Copy to ~/.codex/skills/qmd-search.md — copy the skill content below and save it.
```bash npm install -g buildyourbrain byb init bun install -g @tobilu/qmd ```
```bash byb config byb reindex byb search "query" qmd status qmd query "query" -c brain --limit 5 ``` - Resolve the Brain path from `byb config` before troubleshooting search. - Prefer `byb reindex` over raw `qmd update`. - If `qmd` is missing, `byb search` falls back to grep. That means semantic search is not actually configured yet. See [references/setup.md](references/setup.md) for the detailed setup and failure checks.
```bash byb status qmd status byb search "memory" ```
