Common questions
Short answers for the main questions people have before trying this workflow.
Why is prompt search important?
Because the more prompts you save, the more value depends on retrieval speed. A prompt library is only useful if you can find the right prompt instantly.
What does Promptlight search through?
It searches your local prompt vault, including titles and body text, so you can retrieve prompts even when you only remember a fragment.
Is prompt search still useful with only a small library?
Yes. Search becomes even more valuable as the library grows, but it already removes friction from daily reuse with a small vault too.
