This is really too bad, as editors should be able to plug and play with AI tooling in the same way that editors <> LSP can plug and play with language tooling.

I mean I tried Zeds implementation with OpenCode was working fine but yeah the whole standards part is really complicated right now. I can't keep track of it. I hear about A2A but did not know it was merged with ACP.

My beef with zeds implementation is they haven’t kept it up to date. I really like the ide integration but when you don’t support half the things that make Claude code really nice, like hooks, it kinda defeats the purpose

> It has some support, but it got merged into A2A, which I don't hear anyone talking about, so it seems like it's going to die on the vine.

I'm not sure this is true, do you have a source? Maybe conflating this with the recent Agentic AI Foundation & MCP news?

I think you may be confusing Agent Client Protocol with Agent Communication Protocol.

I think that https://agentclientprotocol.com/ was mentioned as ACP
