LOCAL CURSOR-STYLE AI INSIDE ZED: EARLY ARCHITECTURE AND REPO

[ OVERVIEW ]

An experimental Zed IDE fork is adding local AI features—semantic code search, cross-file reasoning, and web browsing—backed by vector DB indexing and local models (Ollama/llama.cpp or OpenAI-compatible APIs). The author seeks concrete guidance on AST-aware chunking, incremental re-indexing for multi-language repos, streaming results to the editor, sandboxed browsing with prompt-injection defenses, and model orchestration. The repo already exposes settings for vector DB, embedder provider, model, API keys, and an index toggle.
