 "page_title": "How to run Pi Bolt in your editor's agent panel with Pi Bolt",
 "summary": "Use Pi Bolt through the Agent Client Protocol in Zed, JetBrains, VS Code or Neovim.",
 "who": "A developer who works in an ACP-compatible editor and wants Pi's settings, extensions, skills and sessions in the agent panel.",
 "problem": "Switching between an editor and a separate terminal agent breaks the flow of editing code with an AI agent.",
 "outcome": "The editor's agent panel runs Pi Bolt with your existing Pi settings, extensions, skills and sessions.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Pi Bolt and find the full path to the executable, for example with `which pi-bolt` on Linux or macOS. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Open Zed's settings.json and add an agent_servers entry with the command set to that path and args set to [\"--acp\"].",
  "Open the agent panel in Zed and choose Pi Bolt.",
  "For other editors, follow the setup in docs/ACP.md."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repo opensec-git/Pi-Bolt, add a Pi-Bolt agent_servers entry for Zed that runs the full path of pi-bolt with the argument --acp. Report the settings.json change. Verify that the Pi-Bolt agent appears in the Zed agent panel and can answer a short prompt.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
