## Repository Dependencies & PR Strategy
### **Multi-Repository Architecture**
This feature spans three repositories that must be coordinated:
1. **`agent-client-protocol`**: External crate defining the protocol
2. **`zed`**: Main editor with ACP client integration
3. **`claude-code-acp`**: Reference agent implementation
### **Dependency Chain**
```
agent-client-protocol (Phase 1)
zed (Phase 2) - temporarily depends on local ACP changes
claude-code-acp (Phase 3) - uses published ACP version
```
### **Development Workflow**
#### Step 1: Local Development Setup
```bash
# Work on ACP protocol extension locally
cd /Users/nathan/src/agent-client-protocol
# Make Phase 1 changes...
# Point Zed to local ACP version for testing
cd /Users/nathan/src/zed
# Update Cargo.toml to reference local path:
# agent-client-protocol = { path = "../agent-client-protocol" }
```
#### Step 2: Testing & Validation
- Test all phases end-to-end with local dependencies
- Verify Phase 1+2 integration works correctly
- Validate Phase 3 against local ACP changes
#### Step 3: PR Sequence
1. **First PR**: `agent-client-protocol` with new slash command methods
2. **Second PR**: `zed` referencing published ACP version (after #1 merges)
3. **Third PR**: `claude-code-acp` using new ACP capabilities
### **Temporary Dependency Management**
During development, Zed's `Cargo.toml` will need:
```toml
[dependencies]
# Temporary local reference for development/testing
agent-client-protocol = { path = "../agent-client-protocol" }
# After ACP PR merges, switch to:
agent-client-protocol = "0.2.0-alpha.1" # or appropriate version
```
### **Cross-Repository Verification**
Before opening PRs:
- [ ] ACP protocol extension compiles and tests pass
- [ ] Zed compiles against local ACP changes
- [ ] End-to-end slash command flow works locally
- [ ] Claude ACP adapter works with generated types

### Overview
Prepare the Claude Code ACP adapter to implement the new slash command RPC methods by adding command parsing and execution.
### **CRITICAL ARCHITECTURE NOTE**
The TypeScript types in `claude-code-acp` are **automatically generated** from the Rust protocol definitions. The ACP repository uses a code generation pipeline:
1. **Rust → JSON Schema**: `cargo run --bin generate` creates `schema/schema.json` from Rust types
2. **JSON Schema → TypeScript**: `node typescript/generate.js` creates TypeScript types from the schema
**This means the new `ListCommandsRequest`, `RunCommandRequest`, etc. types will be automatically available in TypeScript after we extend the Rust protocol in Phase 1.**
### Changes Required:
#### 1. Command Parsing Module
**File**: `claude-code-acp/src/command-parser.ts` (new file)
**Changes**: Add markdown command parser

**Integration Notes**:
- **Auto-Generated Types**: All ACP protocol types are automatically generated from Rust definitions
- **Session Reuse**: Uses existing session's input stream and MCP configuration
- **Result Streaming**: Leverages existing `prompt()` method's streaming loop at line 150
- **Error Handling**: Uses established session update patterns from line 191
- **Tool Access**: Commands inherit session's MCP server and tool configurations

- [ ] TypeScript types generated correctly: Check for `ListCommandsRequest`, `RunCommandRequest` types in schema.ts
- [ ] CommandParser class implemented (`claude-code-acp/src/command-parser.ts`):
- `listCommands()` method reads `.claude/commands/*.md` files
- `parseCommandFile()` extracts H1 titles and descriptions correctly
- `getCommand()` returns full command content for execution
- Proper error handling for missing directories and files
- Command caching works correctly
- [ ] ClaudeAcpAgent class extended (`claude-code-acp/src/acp-agent.ts`):
- Constructor initializes `commandParser` when `.claude/commands` exists
- `initialize()` method advertises `supports_custom_commands` capability correctly
- `listCommands()` method implemented and returns properly formatted response
- `runCommand()` method integrated with existing session management
- Command execution uses existing session input stream
- Error handling streams errors back via session updates
- [ ] **Type Integration**:
- [ ] Auto-generated types imported correctly from `@zed-industries/agent-client-protocol`
- [ ] TypeScript compiler recognizes new protocol method signatures
- [ ] No type errors when implementing new agent methods
- [ ] Integration Testing:
- [ ] Agent advertises `supports_custom_commands = true` when `.claude/commands` directory exists
- [ ] Agent advertises `supports_custom_commands = false` when directory doesn't exist
- [ ] `list_commands()` RPC returns commands from `.claude/commands/*.md` files
- [ ] Commands include correct name, description, requires_argument fields
- [ ] `run_command()` executes command content via Claude SDK integration
- [ ] Command results stream back as session updates to ACP client
- [ ] Commands have access to session's MCP servers and tool permissions
- [ ] Error handling works for missing commands, directories, execution failures
- [ ] Command arguments are properly appended when provided
- [ ] End-to-End Testing:
- [ ] Create test `.claude/commands/test.md` file with sample command
- [ ] Verify command appears in Zed's "/" completion menu
- [ ] Verify command executes and streams results to agent panel
- [ ] Verify commands work with existing MCP proxy and tool permissions

## Migration Notes
### User Experience
No migration needed - this is a new feature that gracefully degrades for agents that don't support custom commands. Existing agent panel behavior is preserved.
### Developer Coordination
**Important**: This feature requires coordinated releases across multiple repositories:
1. **ACP Protocol**: Must be released first with new slash command methods
2. **Zed**: Can only merge after ACP release is available
3. **Agent Implementations**: Can adopt new capabilities independently
### Version Compatibility
- **Backward Compatible**: Old agents continue working without slash command menus
- **Forward Compatible**: New Zed version works with old agents (feature simply disabled)
- **Graceful Degradation**: UI adapts based on agent-advertised capabilities
### Rollout Strategy
1. **Phase 1 Release**: ACP protocol extension (no visible user changes)
2. **Phase 2 Release**: Zed UI implementation (menu appears only with compatible agents)
3. **Phase 3+ Rollout**: Agent implementations adopt new capabilities over time
