Prompts disappear in history. No tools, no code, no file.
You retype every time. Context is gone tomorrow.
Your prompt + context + tools = a .md file.
Edit it, run it again, share it. It's yours forever.
Build mini tools like API testers, DB explorers and data transformers. Write the documentation and the working code in the same file.
Record a lecture, transcribe it locally, and have AI extract key concepts. All without leaving the note or touching a cloud service.
Prototype in a note. The same file holds the idea, the working code, and the AI conversation that shaped it. Ship faster by keeping context together.
