⚠️ ARCHIVED: Claude Code Zed Integration
This repository has been archived and is no longer actively maintained.

We now focus on VSCode integration for Claude Code CLI. If you're looking for Claude Code editor integration, we recommend using VSCode instead of Zed.

Thank you to everyone who starred this repository and supported our work! 🙏

If you want to continue development of Zed integration, feel free to fork this repository and build upon this codebase.

Claude Code Zed Integration

A two-part system that integrates Claude Code CLI with Zed editor for AI-assisted coding.

Current Integration Status

✅ Working Features
- Text Selection Sharing: Zed can send selected text context to Claude Code CLI
- File Reference Handling: Selected code snippets and file paths are transmitted

🚧 Limitations
