Superzent is a fork of the Zed editor inspired by superset.sh,
designed to make AI workflows a first-class part of the development environment.

One window, multiple local workspaces with git worktree, fast file navigation, diff views, terminal-heavy agent workflows, and center-pane ACP chat tabs.

This repository is in early alpha.

Current focus:

• local repositories and git worktrees
• native editor, split panes, and diff views
• terminal-first use of external coding agents
• center-pane ACP tabs built from selected pieces of the existing ACP / agent_ui stack
• public macOS Apple Silicon releases

Deliberately out of scope for the default build:

• cloud collaboration
• calls / WebRTC
• hosted AI surfaces from upstream Zed
• Zed's docked agent panel and native text-thread product surface

Now:

• stabilize the local-first workspace shell
• polish center-pane ACP tabs, history, and preset handoff
• keep release, update, and docs surfaces aligned with superzent

Next:

• remote project fix
• session restore
• next-edit integration
• native alarm

Later:

• workspace shell polish across startup, empty states, and worktree flows
• smoother terminal and agent handoff across presets, diffs, and tabs

Not planned:

• cloud collaboration and calls / WebRTC
• hosted AI surfaces in the default build
• Zed's own docked agent panel and native text-thread product surface
• public Windows or Linux desktop releases

git clone git@github.com:currybab/superzent.git
cd superzent
cargo run -p superzent

For day-to-day development, stay on the default lightweight shell:

cargo check -p superzent

The default build includes acp_tabs, so external ACP agents open in center-pane tabs without enabling the heavier upstream AI surface.

Before cutting a release, run the local maintainer preflight:

./script/check-local-ci

Only use the inherited upstream surface when you are explicitly debugging it:

cargo check -p superzent --features full

For a signed macOS bundle:

./script/bundle-mac aarch64-apple-darwin

• Extensions still use the upstream Zed marketplace.
• Much of the editor and platform code still comes from upstream Zed and is intentionally kept close for easier maintenance.
• The default app build is lite + acp_tabs.
• superzent reuses selected ACP / agent_ui pieces to open external ACP chats in center-pane tabs.
• That does not mean bringing back Zed's own docked agent panel, native text-thread surface, or hosted AI product flow in the default build.
