Each prompt is a simple markdown file:

⚙️ Tips

  • File names become prompt names (without .md)
  • Directory structure is reflected in the sidebar tree
  • Edit directly - you can modify .md files in editor normally
  • Version control - commit your .prompto directory to share with team
  • Backup - your prompts are just files, easy to backup/sync
