Overview

• Gemini CLI is now available natively inside Zed as the first agent using the newly open-sourced Agent Client Protocol.
• The editor runs the agent as a subprocess over standard input and output using a minimal JSON-RPC schema.
• Developers can follow the agent in real time, open a debug view to inspect its reasoning, and review proposed edits as diffs before applying them.
• ACP enables third parties to build and swap in their own agents for Zed, reflecting the editor’s shift toward a multi-agent model.
• Users can provide links to documentation or API specs for added context, and Zed says third‑party agent interactions do not touch its servers.
