embed

A qmd command that creates numerical representations of indexed documents so searches can find related meaning, not only matching words. These representations are called vector embeddings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after indexing documents, especially code, to generate or rebuild embeddings, choose code-aware chunking, and limit memory use on large collections.
Why use it?
It makes semantic search possible and refreshes documents whose embeddings are missing or outdated. The command can resume after interruption and can process selected collections.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

embed scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Run qmd embed $ARGUMENTS. Defaults to incremental (only embeds hashes without vectors).

Useful flags:

  • -f / --force: clear all vectors and re-embed everything (after model change, dimension mismatch, or strategy switch).
  • -c <name>: scope to one collection (embeds only its pending hashes). -c <name> --force clears and rebuilds only that collection's vectors and preserves hashes shared with sibling collections. Added in qmd 2.5.0.
  • --chunk-strategy auto: AST-aware chunking for code files (.ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx/.mts/.cts/.mjs/.cjs/.py/.go/.rs). Recommended for code-heavy collections so chunks land on function/class boundaries instead of mid-statement.
  • --max-docs-per-batch N / --max-batch-mb N: bound peak memory on huge collections (defaults: 64 docs / 64 MB, whichever is hit first).

After embedding, run qmd status and confirm zero pending embeds. First run downloads ~300 MB embedding model; pre-download all 3 models (~2 GB) with /qmd:pull.

Embeddings are safe to interrupt and resume — the next run picks up from where it stopped.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

embed is a command published in the GitHub repository ramonclaudio/skills (4 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 347 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
