Common questions
Short answers for the main questions people have before trying this workflow.
Why use Markdown for a prompt library?
Markdown keeps prompts portable, readable, and easy to edit in the tools you already use without locking your workflow into one app.
Can I sync a Markdown prompt vault across devices?
Yes. You can keep the folder in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Git, or another synced location and still use Promptlight as the fast launcher on your Mac.
Does Promptlight require a proprietary format?
No. The value is the search and launch workflow, while the source of truth can stay in plain Markdown files you control.
