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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00043 | $0.03451 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.01725 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00690 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00345 |
Grade B, and why
qmd scanned grade B with 2 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 8d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

94% identical to qmd — 14 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 442 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
QMD — Query Markup Documents
Local, on-device search engine for personal knowledge bases. Indexes markdown notes, meeting transcripts, documentation, and any text-based files, then provides hybrid search combining keyword matching, semantic understanding, and LLM-powered reranking — all running locally with no cloud dependencies.
Created by Tobi Lütke. MIT licensed.
When to Use
- User asks to search their notes, docs, knowledge base, or meeting transcripts
- User wants to find something across a large collection of markdown/text files
- User wants semantic search ("find notes about X concept") not just keyword grep
- User has already set up qmd collections and wants to query them
- User asks to set up a local knowledge base or document search system
- Keywords: "search my notes", "find in my docs", "knowledge base", "qmd"
Prerequisites
Node.js >= 22 (required)
# Check version
node --version # must be >= 22
# macOS — install or upgrade via Homebrew
brew install node@22
# Linux — use NodeSource or nvm
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
# or with nvm:
nvm install 22 && nvm use 22
SQLite with Extension Support (macOS only)
macOS system SQLite lacks extension loading. Install via Homebrew:
brew install sqlite
Install qmd
npm install -g @tobilu/qmd
# or with Bun:
bun install -g @tobilu/qmd

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.

qmd is a skill published in the GitHub repository braxtonROSE4/zorro-agent (8 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 3,451 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). It is 94% identical to qmd, differing in 14 lines, and is treated as a copy.
