# qmd - Doramagic AI Context Pack

> Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated.

## Project

- canonical_name: `tobi/qmd`
- capability: mini cli search engine for your docs, knowledge bases, meeting notes, whatever. Tracking current sota approaches while being all local
- expected_user_outcome: mini cli search engine for your docs, knowledge bases, meeting notes, whatever. Tracking current sota approaches while being all local

## Operating Boundaries

- Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it.
- Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references.
- When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact.
- publish_status: `publishable`
- blocking_gaps: none

## Doramagic Context Augmentation

The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints.

## Human Manual Outline

Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph.

Host AI hard rules:
- Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence.
- When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal.
- Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph.

- **Overview and Getting Started**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: README.md, package.json, bin/qmd, CHANGELOG.md
- **Architecture, Search Pipeline, and AI Model Integration**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/store.ts, src/llm.ts, src/db.ts, src/index.ts, src/ast.ts
- **CLI Commands, SDK Usage, and MCP Server**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/cli/qmd.ts, src/cli/formatter.ts, src/mcp/server.ts, src/collections.ts, src/paths.ts
- **Deployment, Cross-Platform Support, and Extensibility**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: flake.nix, example-index.yml, src/maintenance.ts, src/bench/bench.ts, src/bench/score.ts

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `62b3a67d2e91886381d6bdf49b1140ac1052d071`
- inspected_files: `README.md`, `package.json`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `docs/SYNTAX.md`, `src/ast.ts`, `src/bench/bench.ts`, `src/bench/fixtures/example.json`, `src/bench/score.ts`, `src/bench/types.ts`, `src/bench-rerank.ts`, `src/cli/formatter.ts`, `src/cli/qmd.ts`, `src/collections.ts`, `src/db.ts`, `src/index.ts`, `src/llm.ts`, `src/maintenance.ts`, `src/mcp/server.ts`, `src/paths.ts`, `src/store.ts`

Host AI hard rules:
- Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read.
- Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts.
- Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully.

## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints

These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes.

### Constraint 1: Installation risk requires verification

- Trigger: Project evidence flags a installation risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow.
- Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment.
- Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.
- Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/tobi/qmd/issues/735
- Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it.

### Constraint 2: Configuration risk requires verification

- Trigger: Project evidence flags a configuration risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow.

### Constraint 3: Maintenance risk requires verification

- Trigger: Project evidence flags a maintenance risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow.
