Zed capabilities
10 mapped capabilities, each graded and dated. The map shows what Zed can do; the audit shows whether it’s worth consolidating — and a guide shows how to move.
Capabilities
Agent Profiles and fine-grained tool permissions
provisionalverified ~2 months agoGranular control over which tools an agent thread can use, configured through reusable profiles.
Agentic editing in the Agent Panel
provisionalverified ~2 months agoAn AI agent reads, writes, and runs code in your project: you describe a task and the agent discovers context, edits files, and runs commands until the task is done.
Bring your own keys / external LLM providers
provisionalverified ~2 months agoUse your own LLM provider accounts, subscriptions, gateways, or local models instead of Zed-hosted billing.
Edit Prediction (next-edit autocomplete, Zeta)
provisionalverified ~2 months agoAn LLM predicts the code you want to write next at keystroke granularity, suggesting individual or multi-line edits you accept by pressing tab.
Editable unified-diff review of agent changes
provisionalverified ~2 months agoBefore committing, you review the agent's work as an editable unified diff and accept or reject the changes.
External agents via Agent Client Protocol (ACP)
provisionalverified ~2 months agoRun third-party coding agents inside Zed's Agent Panel through a standard protocol, with the external agent owning its own runtime, auth, model, and tools.
MCP context servers
provisionalverified ~2 months agoExtend the agent's knowledge and tools by connecting external tools and data sources through the Model Context Protocol.
Native GPU-accelerated code editor
provisionalverified ~2 months agoA high-performance, open-source code editor built from scratch in Rust, designed for low-latency editing and responsive AI interactions.
