Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 7, Utility: 4)

AgentEd is a Tauri-based local-first visual Markdown editor with YAML frontmatter editing, live token estimates via gpt-tokenizer, and image/code-block support, aimed at preparing AI instruction documents. It is a polished single-developer desktop app but fills a narrow niche already served by well-established editors like Typora, Obsidian, and VS Code with plugins.

Target audience: AI power users and prompt engineers preparing instruction documents; developers wanting a lightweight local markdown editor
