## Prerequisites

- You have Poolside Agent CLI installed and authenticated. See [Install Poolside Agent CLI](https://docs.poolside.ai/cli/install).

## Steps

1. Configure Zed.
   
   
   
   
   ```
   pool acp setup --editor zed
   ```
   
   
   
   
   This writes Poolside agent configuration to `~/.config/zed/settings.json`.
2. Restart Zed.
3. Select **Poolside** from the agent picker.

## Configure Zed manually

If you prefer to configure Zed manually, add the following configuration to `~/.config/zed/settings.json`:

```
{
  "agent_servers": {
    "Poolside": {
      "command": "pool",
      "args": ["acp"],
      "type": "custom"
    }
  }
}
```
