Acknowledgements

Huge love to www.chatprd.com - this project is inspired by their excellent work. OpenPRD is not meant to replace ChatPRD but rather provide a DIY, bring-your-own-key alternative for developers who want more control over their AI providers and costs.

The desktop version (LocalOpenPRD) takes this philosophy further by eliminating external dependencies entirely.
