feat: add Zed editor to IDE tools / compatibility table #300

What

Add Zed to the compatibility table and installation instructions as a supported editor.

Why

Zed is a fast, modern code editor with native AI integration (Agent Panel, Inline Assistant). It already reads the same context files as other supported tools:

  • CLAUDE.md — auto-included in all Agent Panel interactions
  • AGENTS.md — project-level instructions
  • GEMINI.md — recognized natively

Since AIDD writes rules to CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md, Zed works out of the box. Adding it to the compatibility table makes this explicit for users.

Zed also supports Skills (reusable instruction packages) loaded from ~/.agents/skills/ (global) or <worktree>/.agents/skills/ (project-local), following the Agent Skills specification.

Changes

1. Compatibility table — add Zed row:

Tool Status
Claude Code ✅ Native · recommended
GitHub Copilot ✅ Supported
Codex ✅ Supported
Cursor ✅ Supported
OpenCode ✅ Supported
Zed ✅ Supported
Gemini 🚧 In progress
Mistral 🚧 In progress

2. Installation section — add Zed to the "Other tools" flat instructions:

Zed — flat

  1. Download aidd-framework-zed-flat-<version>.zip.
  2. Unzip it into your project root — it materializes .agents/skills/, ready to use.

Note: Zed natively reads CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md. The flat archive provides AIDD skills via Zed's skill system.

Verification

  • Zed reads CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md natively (confirmed via Zed docs)
  • Zed Skill format: SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter in ~/.agents/skills/ or <worktree>/.agents/skills/
  • No code changes needed — documentation only
