First seen Jul 30, 2026

Installation

$ npx skills add hu-wentao/skills --skill queryable-markdown

Summary

  • Query, create, edit, batch-update, validate, and repair Markdown through persistent or temporary mdq contracts.
  • Use for exact record lookup, bounded collection search, source-located edits, safe scalar updates, post-write verification, contract conversion, query diagnosis, or deterministic repair.

Queryable Markdown

Use compact agent commands for normal work and stable JSON only for automation or requested details. Resolve <skill-root> from this active skill.

Route

Need Command
Exact record get <document> --id <id>
Collection lookup find <path>... --id <id> or --text <text>
Declared query run <document> --query <name> --value <value> --output compact
Semantic candidate retrieval Read [semantic-cli.md](references/semantic-cli.md), then use mdq-semantic.py configure, index, and query
Existing label scalar update set preview, then exact repeat with --apply
Verify edit `check <document> --tier content structure contract`
Programmatic JSON query, search, scan, or run

Preserve Authority

  • Markdown bytes are authoritative; sidecar indexes are cache.
  • Contracts are data, never executable commands, imports, URLs, or plugins. A mdq.profile reference may select only a versioned local skill asset; it cannot name an arbitrary path.
  • A contract provides addressing, not write authority.
  • Preserve bytes outside the authorized record or mdq control range; never renderer-round-trip.
  • Match exact case-sensitive identity. Refuse absent, duplicate, candidate, ambiguous, or guessed boundaries.
  • Return absent values as null; never invent IDs, fields, prose, or domain decisions.
  • Preflight an entire batch before writing any target.
  • Keep parsing checks separate from domain approval.
  • Keep project README.md ordinary: never add, repair, or write persistent mdq metadata there.

Read Compactly

uv run <skill-root>/scripts/mdq.py get <document.md> --id <id> --select <field>
uv run <skill-root>/scripts/mdq.py find <path> --glob '**/*.md' \
  --text <term> --select <field> [--require-contract]

Repeat --select as needed. Compact output omits large raw/body/context fields when smaller declared fields exist. Rerun with --output json only when compact output requests details or another program needs the envelope.

Without a persistent contract, conservative temporary selectors may support read-only get and find. A prose mention remains candidate evidence, not identity. A resolved versioned shared profile is a persistent contract; an unresolved or malformed reference is invalid and must not silently fall back for writes. Semantic retrieval is a separate candidate-recall layer; it must index only mdq-resolved records and revalidate returned identities through mdq.

Write and Verify

Preview scalar batches, inspect, then repeat exactly with --apply:

uv run <skill-root>/scripts/mdq.py set <path>... \
  --where status=draft --field reviewed --value true

For manual record edits, read [editing-workflow.md](references/editing-workflow.md), patch one bounded source range, then run one tier:

uv run <skill-root>/scripts/mdq.py check <document.md> --tier content --id <id> --select <field>
uv run <skill-root>/scripts/mdq.py check <document.md> --tier structure --id <id> --absent-id <old-id>
uv run <skill-root>/scripts/mdq.py check <document.md> --tier contract

Escalate when warnings, ranges, ambiguity, markers, labels, headings, boundaries, query policy, or indexes change.

Contracts and Repair

Before creating, converting, or changing a contract, read [protocol.md](references/protocol.md) and [query-design-and-repair.md](references/query-design-and-repair.md). Default new AI-maintained records to heading blocks. Preserve tables unless conversion is authorized. For a compatible project-governance document, use the versioned project-governance/governed-document-v1 shared profile rather than copying its selectors into the document. Run inspect before conversion and preview optimize; shared profile references are read-only and must be revised by publishing a new profile version, not by rewriting one consuming document. Apply only one authorized inline candidate without rewriting authored content.

Report

Report operation, IDs and paths, diagnostics, verification tier, contract/marker/index effects, unresolved ambiguity, preserved unrelated content, and breaking impact.
