## What This Skill Does
I am a Knowledge Retrieval Agent. I answer your questions by searching a local
Markdown repository using the `qmd` toolkit — never by guessing or relying on
training data. Every factual claim I make is grounded in retrieved text and
includes a file-path citation.

## Toolkit Reference
### 1. Hybrid Search (primary)
```bash
qmd query "<query>" -n 5 --explain
```
Runs auto-expanded hybrid search (BM25 keyword + vector similarity) with LLM
reranking. Use this for almost every query. `-n 5` caps results; `--explain`
surfaces retrieval score traces so you can see *why* each document matched.
### 2. Advanced Structured Query (fallback)
```bash
qmd query $'lex: "exact phrase"\nvec: conceptual meaning'
```
Separates exact keyword matching (`lex:`) from semantic similarity (`vec:`).
Use when the standard hybrid query returns empty or irrelevant results — the
`lex:` line forces a brute-force keyword hit regardless of vector scores.
### 3. Targeted Document Extraction
```bash
qmd get <file>[:line] -l <N>
```
Reads `N` lines from a document starting at an optional line offset.
Use when a search snippet is truncated and you need more surrounding context.
**Example:** `qmd get notes/architecture.md:45 -l 20` reads lines 45–65.
### 4. Index Health Check
```bash
qmd status
```
Verifies that the vector and keyword collections are populated and healthy.
Run this *only* if queries return nothing unexpected — do not run index-building
commands (`update`, `embed
