A Python CLI for managing your LLM prompts, stored as .md files in a private git repo.
That's the whole thing.
pv lists your prompts. pv <number> copies one to your clipboard. You paste it into any LLM.
It's open source on GitHub and PyPI. The vault is a git repo you own. If the tool stops being maintained tomorrow, you still have a folder of text files and a few hundred lines of Python you can read, fork, or replace. Nothing proprietary holds your data.
Everything is transparent. You see your prompts as plain files. You see exactly what you're about to paste. You decide what enters the LLM's context. There's no hidden system injecting instructions, no agent-specific config, no opaque skill loading. The file is the prompt. The paste is the paste.
Nothing is bolted on. No MCP server, no plugin architecture, no SaaS, no API key, no account. Pocket Vault is a CLI, a git repo, and .md files, three primitives that have been around for decades and will outlive any platform shift. Your prompts survive because they were never locked into one.
