Zed's ACP Agent Registry¶
TODO: Review Ingestion Theory
Guha/Team: Please review the ingestion and superset mapping theory for this ecosystem integration before finalized publication.
Agent Finder acts as an open, protocol-agnostic discovery envelope designed to ingest, wrap, and index Zed's Agent Client Protocol (ACP) capabilities.
The Envelope Mapping¶
Zed's ACP standardizes editor-to-agent UI integrations. Agent Finder wraps ACP tool endpoints under the proposed application/acp-agent+json media type:
{
"identifier": "urn:ai:acme.com:editor:refactor",
"displayName": "Acme Workspace Refactoring Agent",
"type": "application/acp-agent+json",
"url": "https://api.acme.com/acp/endpoint"
}
Developer Value¶
- Cross-Harness Discoverability: ACP-compliant agents gain permissionless discoverability outside of the Zed editor ecosystem, making them searchable by any harness (e.g., Gemini, Claude Code).
- Zero Prompt Bloat: Editor agents are dynamically searched and loaded into the client's environment only when a workspace refactoring task matches the user's active intent.
