Audited the AI documentation against the implementation
## Changes
- **tool-permissions**: `skill` tool patterns match the absolute
`SKILL.md` path, not the skill name (fixed the table, example pattern,
and added a clarifying note).
- **external-agents**: Gemini CLI receives Zed's Google AI key when no
env key is set; extension-provided agents are deprecated in favor of the
ACP registry.
- **inline-assistant**: alternatives run alongside the inline assistant
model (not just the default model); fixed a broken anchor and
`gpt-4-mini` → `gpt-5-mini` model id typos.
- **mcp**: corrected the extensions menu item name ("Install New
Servers…"), the remote server `url` example, and removed the nonexistent
`thinking` tool from the profile example.
- **agent-panel**: "New From Summary" lives in the New Thread menu;
corrected the `@`-mention type list (no "instruction files"; added Fetch
and Branch Diff).
- **use-api-access**: DeepSeek default `api_url` includes `/v1`.
- **skills**: folder name is a convention not a requirement; long
descriptions warn rather than fail (measured in bytes); hidden skills
are also `@`-mentionable; dropped the unenforced consecutive-hyphen
rule; reconciled the no-remote-registry note with GitHub import.
- **edit-prediction**: `alt-tab` and `alt-l` are bound across platforms;
predictions are throttled rather than fired on every keystroke.
- **getting-started, windows-and-projects, parallel-agents**: Panel
Layout lives in the title-bar user menu, with
`workspace::UseAgenticLayout`/`UseClassicLayout` action references.

Anthropic now requires limited data retention for models it designates
as covered models (Mythos-class models, such as Claude Fable 5): prompts
and outputs are retained for 30 days for trust and safety purposes, on
every platform where these models are offered, including platforms with
zero-data-retention agreements. See [Anthropic's public
policy](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15425996-data-retention-practices-for-mythos-class-models).
Our AI privacy docs previously described zero data retention as applying
to all Zed-hosted models unconditionally. This PR updates them to
document the exception:
- `docs/src/ai/privacy-and-security.md`: Adds a "Provider Safety
Retention for Designated Models" section covering what is retained, by
whom, for how long, that no-training commitments still apply, and that
bringing your own key does not avoid retention for covered models.
Qualifies the intro, request-path table, and provider commitments table
accordingly.
- `docs/src/ai/ai-improvement.md`: Qualifies the zero-data-retention
statements and links to the new section.
- `docs/src/business/privacy.md`: Qualifies the zero-data-retention
statement and links to the new section.

Closes AI-344
Closes AI-342
Moves agent skills management out of the agent panel and into the
settings UI. The skill creator (previously its own crate) now lives in
`settings_ui` as a settings page, alongside the skills setup page. The
agent panel's ellipsis menu now links to the settings page instead of
hosting skill management directly.
Release Notes:
- Improved agent skills management by moving it into the settings UI

## Summary
- Restructures the AI docs around quick routing, agent paths, provider
access, and company-specific entry points.
- Moves account-owned AI billing/model pages into Account & Billing
while preserving legacy AI redirects.
- Adds focused pages for Zed Agent, external agents, terminal threads,
agent profiles, skills, instructions, API access, subscriptions,
gateways, and local models.
- Updates related links across Git, authentication, business, migration,
and settings reference docs.
## Validation
- `pnpm dlx prettier@3.5.0 . --write`
- `pnpm dlx prettier@3.5.0 . --check`
- `git diff --check -- docs/src`
- Changed-doc local markdown link sanity check
- `mdbook build docs` was attempted; it is currently blocked by an
unrelated existing `docs/src/vim.md:542` action schema error for
`vim::HelixJumpToWord`.
## Follow-up

There's currently no way to customize AI-generated commit messages on a
per-commit basis. You can put instructions in AGENTS.md or a project
rules file, but those get fed into every agent interaction, not just
commit generation. The built-in "Commit message" prompt used to be
editable in the Rules Library, but that was replaced by Skills, which
aren't used when generating commit messages.
This PR adds an `agent.commit_message_instructions` setting. Its
contents are added to the commit message prompt in their own section,
alongside any project rules, so you can ask for a specific format
(Conventional Commits, a ticket prefix, etc.) without changing how the
agent behaves elsewhere:
```json
{
"agent": {
"commit_message_instructions": "Use the Conventional Commits format: <type>(<scope>): <description>."
}
}

Documents the ways to open the Skill Creator in `docs/src/ai/skills.md`:
- From the Agent Panel using the keybinding ({#kb
agent::OpenRulesLibrary})
- From the Agent Panel `...` menu > **Skills**
- From the command palette via {#action agent::OpenSkillCreator}
Release Notes:
- N/A
Fixes the skill installation instructions in `docs/src/ai/skills.md`.
The previous steps used a `git sparse-checkout` approach that was
inaccurate — the cloned repo would land nested inside the skills folder,
and the sparse-checkout path was wrong for repos that store skills in a
subdirectory. Replaced with a simple instruction to copy the skill's
folder into the appropriate location.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Adds documentation for the Skills settings UI introduced alongside the
Skills feature.
## Changes
- **Updated** `docs/src/ai/skills.md`:
- Updated "Create your own" to lead with `/create-skill` and mention the
Skill Creator UI as a secondary option
- Added "Managing Skills" section documenting the Settings Editor Skills
page (view, open, delete skills)
Release Notes:
- N/A
Adds documentation for the new Skills feature, which replaces Rules
starting in Zed v1.4.0.
## Changes
- **New page**: `docs/src/ai/skills.md` — covers what skills are,
finding and installing skills from skills.sh, using skills via slash
commands and model invocation, creating a skill (folder structure,
SKILL.md format, frontmatter fields, bundled resources), where skills
live (global vs project-local), security model, and limitations
- **Updated**: `docs/src/ai/rules.md` — added deprecation notice
pointing to Skills
- **Updated**: `docs/src/SUMMARY.md` — added Skills entry above Rules in
the AI section
- **Updated**: `docs/src/ai/agent-panel.md` — replaced reference to
"rules files" with "skills" in the Adding Context section
Release Notes:
- Added documentation for the Skills feature

## Summary
- Document the new ChatGPT Subscription provider from #53166
- Add to the LLM Providers page alphabetically between Anthropic and
DeepSeek
- Cover sign-in flow, available models (GPT-5.5, GPT-5.3 Codex), and
sign-out
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify section renders correctly in docs preview
- [ ] Confirm links and anchors work
Release Notes:
- N/A
Clarifies that in the empty state, the "New Thread…" menu is exposed as
the agent selector button on the left, rather than the `+` button in the
top-right toolbar. Adds this note to the Getting Started sections for
Gemini CLI, Claude Agent, and Codex in `external-agents.md`, and
reorders the description in `agent-panel.md` to mention the empty state
first.
Release Notes:
- N/A
## Summary
- Adds a new concept page (`docs/src/windows-and-projects.md`)
explaining how Zed handles multiple projects in windows
- Fixes the VS Code migration guide which incorrectly stated "Zed does
not support multi-root workspaces"
- Adds cross-links from Getting Started, CLI Reference, and Parallel
Agents docs
## Context
With multi-workspace now universally enabled, the default behavior is:
- **File > Open** opens projects in the current window's sidebar (not a
new window)
- **Cmd+Enter** in Open Recent opens in a new window
- **CLI `-n` flag** forces a new window
The VS Code migration guide was telling users the opposite of reality.
This PR fixes that and provides a central concept page that other docs
can link to.
## Changes
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `windows-and-projects.md` | New concept page |
| `SUMMARY.md` | Add to Working with Code section |
| `getting-started.md` | Note about sidebar default + link |
| `migrate/vs-code.md` | Fix "no multi-root" claim → explain sidebar
model |
| `reference/cli.md` | Link to concept page from flags section |
| `ai/parallel-agents.md` | Cross-reference in Multiple Projects section
|
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify page renders correctly on docs site
- [ ] Check all internal links resolve
- [ ] Confirm `{#kb projects::OpenRecent}` renders the correct
keybinding

## Background: Amazon Bedrock Guardrails
AWS Bedrock Guardrails enables configurable safety and compliance
controls for generative AI applications:
- Evaluates both user inputs and model responses against policies.
:contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
- Can block or filter content based on harmful categories, denied
topics, PII, or hallucination criteria.
:contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
- Guardrails are applied during inference API calls by specifying
`guardrailIdentifier` and `guardrailVersion` in the request.
:contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Relevant AWS documentation:
- User Guide:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/guardrails.html
- How Guardrails Works:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/guardrails-how.html
- API Reference (GuardrailConfiguration):
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_GuardrailConfiguration.html
Some AWS environments enforce IAM policies that require a guardrail to
be specified on every Bedrock API call (via a `StringEquals` condition
on `bedrock:GuardrailIdentifier`). Without this, Zed returns
`AccessDenied` and Bedrock models are completely unusable in those
environments.
This adds two optional settings, `guardrail_identifier` and
`guardrail_version`, to the Bedrock provider config. When set, a
`GuardrailStreamConfiguration` is attached to every `converse_stream`
request. When unset, behaviour is identical to before.
```json
{
"language_models": {
"bedrock": {
"guardrail_identifier": "arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1:123456789012:guardrail/abc123",
"guardrail_version": "DRAFT"
}
}
}
```
`guardrail_version` defaults to `"DRAFT"` if omitted.
Release Notes:
- agent: Added `guardrail_identifier` and `guardrail_version` settings
for AWS Bedrock, enabling use in environments where IAM policies require
a guardrail on all model requests

- Update student plan note to exclude GPT-5.5 pro
- Update page description
Follows up on #54820 which added code support for GPT-5.5 models.
The 272k limit is enforced in the cloud due to context-tiered pricing
not yet being implemented.

OpenCode API endpoints for DeepSeek were [moved from
Anthropic-compatible to
OpenAI-compatible](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/pull/24500) and
DeepSeek requires interleaved reasoning enabled to work. I ran a
_"rename this variable to potato"_ test and I can confirm DeepSeek V4
Flash and Pro both work now 🎉
Some other OpenCode Go models were marked [on
models.dev](https://github.com/anomalyco/models.dev/tree/dev/providers/opencode-go/models)
as supporting `interleaved_reasoning` so they too got that enabled. Kimi
K2.5 and Kimi K2.6 continue to fail with
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/51743
(https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/55085 seems to hint at this
being [an OpenCode
issue](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/51743#issuecomment-4336785765)?),
but all other models seem to work fine both with `interleaved_reasoning`
and without it 🤷 I assume it's better to have that turned on? Again, the
intersection of OpenAI Chat Completions API, different models, different
inference providers, how they all work together is something I know
nothing about!

Leftovers after https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/53651
Updated models:
- **Zen**: GPT 5.5 and GPT 5.5 Pro - not tested because I don't have a
Zen subscription and I stubbornly refuse to get one
- **Go**: DeepSeek V4 Pro and DeepSeek V4 Flash - failing due to
https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/24224
- **Go**: MiMo V2.5 and MiMo V2.5 Pro - tested, confirmed working
- **Free**: Ling 2.6 Flash, [available for "a limited
time"](https://x.com/opencode/status/2046717718028513694) - tested,
confirmed working
- **Free**: Hy3 Preview, [available until May
8](https://x.com/opencode/status/2047328981435756824) - tested,
confirmed working
When testing the new models and comparing with OpenCode CLI, I realized
the
[variants](https://opencode.ai/docs/models/#built-in-variants)/thinking
effort configuration was not supported by the Zed Agent implementation.
I added that for OpenCode Go models, after manually checking what each
model supports in OpenCode. Reasoning levels and everything seems to
work (UI looks good, model works) but I have no idea how to specifically
test reasoning levels without doing a full benchmark 🤷
I did not add the same thing for OpenCode Zen models because I could not
figure out a way to get the supported variants.
@benbrandt let me know if you want me to take this out of this PR and to
keep just the model updates!
