Description: Sovereign workspace for prompt engineering with zero-knowledge architecture. Obsidian's editing quality meets PromptLayer's power. Real-time token counting for 20+ AI models (GPT-5, GPT-4.1, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3, Llama 4, Grok-3), smart variables, XML/AI tag autocomplete (23+ tags), GitHub as your private cloud, PromptOps deterministic execution, PII scanning, and multi-format export. Bring your own keys — replace $80-230/mo in tools. Your documents, your models, zero-knowledge architecture.
