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.
