Zed Editor Support

[thenetwrx]

Hi team! For the short while that I used VScode, I refuse to touch it anymore.

I've been using Zed Editor and realized there is no Kilo :(

[sabiqazhar]

please support zed editor tho, i've been using zed for several months

[eakukin]

It could be implemented via kilocode-cli and ACP mode https://zed.dev/docs/ai/external-agents
the same way as Gemini CLI, Claude Code, and Codex

[nicolasembleton]

This is definitely the way. Not trivial, but very valuable. JetBrains IDEs now also supports ACP, meaning you get more IDEs with 1 standard, so a lot less work.

[SuperPauly]

ACP should be the way to go for interoperability.

upvoting it! ;D

Hey, I am also using Zed for quite a long time. I would love to see Kilo Code extension in Zed. ACP is fine but damn. For some reason none of the ACP providers (that I've seen) gives everything you would expect, this means:

• all commands
• codebase indexing
• generally the native experience
  I've tried OpenCode, Claude Code, Gemini CLI through ACP in Zed but naaah, it's just not the same. Maybe the implementation is just not that great.

Anyway, it keeps me from buying Kilo Code. Once I see it in Zed then yeah, I would LOVE to go for it!

We clearly want kilo in Zed. It will be a great combination of speed and productivity.

[shssoichiro]

ACP mode will have to be the way to go, as Zed limits the functionality of its extensions. It is not possible to make a full Kilo Code-style extension in Zed.

Therefore, the tricky part will be handling indexing (also a feature that has been requested built-in to Zed, which the Zed team has ignored...). However, there is some work going on in the Discord to add indexing support to the Kilo CLI. We can likely use similar functionality to add indexing support to Kilo in Zed.

So, it's not possible on Zed at this moment?

[Aziz-Hubs]

I'd love to see an implementation of KiloCode inside of Zed!

[marioapardo]

KiloCode is already supported, the agent must be installed from the ACP Registry. https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/registry

[DRKCTRLDEV]

I tried the Kilo-AI ACP, and it works. But its definitely not without issues... for example, I cannot see the commands that kilo is running. also I cannot see file specific edits (or they'll appear as commands), it'll just say it ran a command (and labels the command)

[DRKCTRLDEV]

update to this, it also keeps giving me permission errors when using plan tool, and time to time when using the code tool/agent
