Parchmint — the Markdown editor for documents AI reads
v0.1.0 · MIT
Markdown for machine readers
Markdown,<br>as the model reads it.
Parchmint shows the honest preview an LLM actually sees —<br>every token, every warning — so your prompts, skill files, and docs land<br>exactly as written. No formatting surprises at inference time.

01 — The idea
What you see is<br>what the model gets.
Most editors render Markdown for your eyes — pretty headings, hidden<br>whitespace, silent assumptions. But your reader is a language model. Parchmint<br>renders the document the way a tokenizer parses it, surfaces the token budget,<br>and flags the structure that quietly breaks prompts. You stop guessing what the<br>model sees. You just look.

02 — What's inside
A workshop for documents<br>with a machine audience.
01<br>Honest preview
A render that matches what the tokenizer parses — not a prettied-up illusion. Pseudo-tags and raw HTML are shown plainly.
02<br>Token meter & warnings
Live token count as you type, with token-level warnings before a document blows past the budget you're writing for.
03<br>Lint & validate
Document-type detection plus structural linting catches the broken outlines and malformed frontmatter that quietly derail prompts.
04<br>Outline & navigation
A live outline of every heading. Jump the cursor anywhere — or right-click the preview and edit the exact line you clicked.
05<br>Mermaid · KaTeX · code
Diagrams, math, and syntax-highlighted fences render inline. Three view modes — source, split, preview — a keystroke apart.
06<br>Local-first & fast
Built on Tauri and Rust. Your files stay on disk, external changes are detected, and nothing phones home. Ever.
