# Check secondbrain exists
ls .claude/data/config.yaml

# Check qmd installation
which qmd

No secondbrain project found in current directory.
Run `/secondbrain-init` to create a new project first.

## qmd Not Installed

qmd is required for semantic search. Install it:

### Using Bun (Recommended)
bun install -g qmd

### Using npm
npm install -g qmd

After installation, run this skill again.

**Note:** First run will download ~1.5GB of embedding models.

ls .claude/search/ 2>/dev/null

## Building Search Index

Found 47 documents

Indexing:

Downloading models (first run only):
- embedding-gemma-300M... done
- qwen3-reranker... done

Building embeddings:

## Automatic Index Updates

Would you like to automatically update the search index
when documents are modified?

[x] Yes, add PostToolUse hook (Recommended)
    - Updates index incrementally on file changes
    - Adds ~0.5s to Write/Edit operations

[ ] No, I'll rebuild manually
    - Run `qmd index` or `/secondbrain-search-init --rebuild`

{
  "hooks": {
    "PostToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Write|Edit",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "python3 \"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/hooks/search-index-update.py\"",
