terminal-native · works with the AI CLIs you already run
Big prompts deserve better than a one-line box
Everything got a modern editor except the terminal — the place developers actually live. Quill fixes that: compose prompts in real Markdown, preview the structure live, and send — to your AI coding CLI or straight to the API. Nothing rewritten, nothing lost.

You've felt this
Six requirements, one wrapping line, arrow keys to edit the middle — and then Enter fires before you're done.
$ ai
Welcome back. Type a prompt:

Try it on a real blob
Paste any run-on prompt — or use ours — and see what structure does to it. This is the difference Quill makes before your model ever reads a word.

You already use an AI coding CLI
“Keep your coding agent open in one tab. Open Quill in a second for the prompts that need more thought.”
Your CLI handles the coding. Quill fills the gap it leaves: structured thinking, architecture reviews, research prompts, specs — composed properly, then handed to the same CLI you already run. Zero habit change.
You live in the terminal
“Stop writing important prompts in a single-line box.”
vim, tmux, git — and then a browser tab for AI? Quill keeps the whole loop in the terminal: a real editor with live Markdown preview, history, templates, and keyboard-first everything.
You engineer prompts for a living
“Your prompts are documents. Treat them like documents.”
Prompts as first-class .md files — version-controlled, diff-able, reusable as templates, searchable in history. Drafting in a notes app and pasting into a chat box was never the workflow.
