Building an ACP-Compatible Agent Live — Bennet Fenner, Zed

This session explores building an AI coding agent that integrates with the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), Zed's open-source JSON RPC-based standard for agent-client communication. It covers essential architectural elements, including protocol design, session lifecycle management, real-time streaming of model output via session updates, and sophisticated handling of tool calls, such as proxied file system operations and self-modifying code for new capabilities like a terminal tool.
