PromptForge provides a unified key management solution:
- Store all API keys centrally in the project root .env file
- Use standardized variable naming, such as ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.
- The system automatically reads the key from the .env file without hard-coding it in the code
- Supports fast switching between different vendors, just modify the DEFAULT_AI_PROVIDER configuration
- Exclude .env files by default with gitignore to avoid accidental key commits
