- Closes#18868
## Summary
This PR introduces a new slash command `/selection` to enhance the
usability of the assistant's quote selection feature.
## Changes Made
1. Extracted a function from the `assistant: quote selection` action to
find the selected text and format it as an assistant section.
2. Created a new slash command `/selection` that utilizes the extracted
function to achieve the same effect as the existing `assistant: quote
selection` action.
3. Updated the documentation to include information about the new
`/selection` slash command.
Release Notes:
- Moved the text selection action to a slash command (`/selection`) in
the assistant panel

This PR adds a `/streaming-example` slash command for the purposes of
showcasing streaming during development.
This slash command is only available to staff and isn't intended to be
shipped to the general public.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This a separate PR from https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/19705
so we can revert it more easily if we want it back later.
Release Notes:
- Added "Suggest Edit" button to the assistant panel if
`"enable_experimental_live_diffs": true` is set in the `"assistant"`
section of `settings.json`. This button takes the place of the previous
`/workflow` command, but it is experimental and may change!

Add an edit button to the assistant. This is totally hacked in for now,
just to see how this would feel rendered simply in the UI.

This PR depends on #19547
This PR adds support for tools from context servers. Context servers are
free to expose tools that Zed can pass to models. When called by the
model, Zed forwards the request to context servers. This allows for some
interesting techniques. Context servers can easily expose tools such as
querying local databases, reading or writing local files, reading
resources over authenticated APIs (e.g. kubernetes, asana, etc).
This is currently experimental.
Things to discuss
* I want to still add a confirm dialog asking people if a server is
allows to use the tool. Should do this or just use the tool and assume
trustworthyness of context servers?
* Can we add tool use behind a local setting flag?

This changes the `/workflow` command so that instead of emitting edits
in separate steps, the user is presented with a single tab, with an
editable diff that they can apply to the buffer.
Todo
* Assistant panel
* [x] Show a patch title and a list of changed files in a block
decoration
* [x] Don't store resolved patches as state on Context. Resolve on
demand.

* [ ] Show a spinner while patch is streaming in
* Patches
* [x] Preserve leading whitespace in new text, auto-indent insertions
* [x] Ensure patch title is very short, to fit better in tab
* [x] Improve patch location resolution, prefer skipping whitespace over
skipping `}`

Some notes:
- You can put the cursor on the start or end line with triple backticks,
it doesn't actually have to be inside the block.
- Placing the cursor outside of a code block does nothing.
- Code blocks are determined by counting triple backticks pairs from
either start or end of buffer, and nothing else.
- If you manually select something, the selection takes precedence over
any code blocks.
Release Notes:
- Added the ability to copy surrounding code blocks in the assistant
panel into the clipboard, or inserting them directly into the editor,
without manually selecting. Place cursor anywhere in a code block
(marked by triple backticks) and use the `assistant::CopyCode` action
(`cmd-k c` / `ctrl-k c`) to copy to the clipboard, or the
`assistant::InsertIntoEditor` action (`cmd-<` / `ctrl-<`) to insert into
editor.

This PR adds a tool registry to hold tools that can be called by the
Assistant.

tools.

Follow-up https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/16085 that fixes
the search deploy to be actually a part of the terminal-related
bindings.
Part of https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/16839
Also
* fixes few other bindings to use `shift` and avoid conflicts with the
existing key bindings.
* adds terminal inline assist to the context menu and makes both the
menu and the button to dynamically adjust to `assist.enabled` settings
change
It is still unclear to me, why certain labels for certain bindings are
wrong (it's still showing `ctrl-w` for closing the terminal tab, and
`shift-insert` instead of `ctrl-shift-v` for Paste, while Insert is near
and has a `ctrl-shift-c` binding shown) but at least the keys work now.
Release notes:
- Improved Linux terminal keymap and context menu
When launching Zed from the CLI via `cargo run`, we'll always prompt
load templates from the repo.
This restores behavior that I reverted last night in #16403.
Also, I've improved the `script/prompts link/unlink` workflow for
overriding prompts of your production copy of Zed. Zed now detects when
the overrides directory is created or removed, and does the right thing.
You can link and unlink repeatedly without restarting Zed.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR reverts #16145 and subsequent changes.
This reverts commit a515442a36.
We still have issues with our approach to indentation in Python
unfortunately, but this feels like a safer equilibrium than where we
were.
Release Notes:
- Returned to our previous prompt for inline assist transformations,
since recent changes were introducing issues.
- [x] Put the slash command popover on the footer
- [x] Refine the popover (change it to a picker)
- [x] Add more options dropdown on the assistant's toolbar
- [x] Add quote selection button on the footer

This commit proposes the addition of "context serveres" and the
underlying protocol (model context protocol). Context servers allow
simple definition of slash commands in another language and running
local on the user machines. This aims to quickly prototype new commands,
and provide a way to add personal (or company wide) customizations to
the assistant panel, without having to maintain an extension. We can
use this to reuse our existing codebase, with authenticators, etc and
easily have it provide context into the assistant panel.
As such it occupies a different design space as extensions, which I
think are
more aimed towards long-term, well maintained pieces of code that can be
easily distributed.
It's implemented as a central crate for easy reusability across the
codebase
and to easily hook into the assistant panel at all points.
Design wise there are a few pieces:
1. client.rs: A simple JSON-RPC client talking over stdio to a spawned
server. This is
very close to how LSP work and likely there could be a combined client
down the line.
2. types.rs: Serialization and deserialization client for the underlying
model context protocol.
3. protocol.rs: Handling the session between client and server.
4. manager.rs: Manages settings and adding and deleting servers from a
central pool.
A server can be defined in the settings.json as:
```
"context_servers": [
{"id": "test", "executable": "python", "args": ["-m", "context_server"]
]
```
## Quick Example
A quick example of how a theoretical backend site can look like. With
roughly 100 lines
of code (nicely generated by Claude) and a bit of decorator magic (200
lines in total), one
can come up with a framework that makes it as easy as:
```python
@context_server.slash_command(name="rot13", description="Perform a rot13 transformation")
@context_server.argument(name="input", type=str, help="String to rot13")
async def rot13(input: str) -> str:
return ''.join(chr((ord(c) - 97 + 13) % 26 + 97) if c.isalpha() else c for c in echo.lower())
```
to define a new slash_command.
## Todo:
- Allow context servers to be defined in workspace settings.
- Allow passing env variables to context_servers

This PR is just a refactor, to pave the way toward adding a view for
workflow step resolution. The entity carries the state of the tool
call's streaming output.
Release Notes:
- N/A
- Fix terminal slash command not working when terminal tab was placed in
center workspace
- Removed `--line-count` argument, you can now just pass a number to the
slash command
e.g. `/terminal 10` will show the last 10 lines of the active terminal
- Increase default context lines to 50
- We will revisit this once we add support for only including the last n
amount of commands that were run
Release Notes:
- N/A
* renames `/tabs` to `/tab`
* allows to insert multiple tabs when fuzzy matching by the names
* improve slash command completion API, introduce a notion of multiple
arguments
* properly fire off commands on arguments' completions with
`run_command: true`

Now, tabs have arguments, `active` (default, applied also for no
arguments case) and `all` to insert the active tab only or all tabs.

This PR simplifies our approach to indentation in the inline assistant
in hopes of improving our experience for Python. We tell the model to
generate the correct indentation in the prompt, and always start
generating at the start of the line. This may fall down for less capable
models, but I want to get a solid experience on the best models and then
figure the rest out later.
Also: We now prefer `./assets/prompts` as an overrides directory when
stdout is a PTY, so you can do `cargo run` and then iterate prompts for
the current run inside the current working copy.
cc @trishume @dsp-ant
Release Notes:
- Zed now allows the model to control indentation when performing inline
transformation. We're hoping this improves the indentation experience in
Python and other indentation-sensitive languages, but it does require
more from the model.

This will help us as we hit issues with the /workflow and step
resolution. We can override the baked-in prompts and make tweaks, then
import our refinements back into the source tree when we're ready.
Release Notes:
- N/A
I need this to refine our prompts on the fly as I work.
Release Notes:
- Templates for prompts driving inline transformation in editors and the
terminal can now be overridden in the `~/.config/zed/prompts/templates`
directory. This is an advanced feature, and prevents you from getting
upstream changes. It's intended for use by Zed developers.
- [x] bug: setting a key doesn't update anything
- [x] show high-level text on configuration page to explain what it is
- [x] show "everything okay!" status when credentials are set
- [x] maybe: add "verify" button to check credentials
- [x] open configuration page when opening panel for first time and
nothing is configured
- [x] BUG: need to fix empty assistant panel if provider is `zed.dev`

We will soon need `semantic_index` to be able to use
`CompletionProvider`. This is currently impossible due to a cyclic crate
dependency, because `CompletionProvider` lives in the `assistant` crate,
which depends on `semantic_index`.
This PR breaks the dependency cycle by extracting two crates out of
`assistant`: `language_model` and `completion`.
Only one piece of logic changed: [this
code](922fcaf5a6 (diff-3857b3707687a4d585f1200eec4c34a7a079eae8d303b4ce5b4fce46234ace9fR61-R69)).
* As of https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/13276, whenever we
ask a given completion provider for its available models, OpenAI
providers would go and ask the global assistant settings whether the
user had configured an `available_models` setting, and if so, return
that.
* This PR changes it so that instead of eagerly asking the assistant
settings for this info (the new crate must not depend on `assistant`, or
else the dependency cycle would be back), OpenAI completion providers
now store the user-configured settings as part of their struct, and
whenever the settings change, we update the provider.
In theory, this change should not change user-visible behavior...but
since it's the only change in this large PR that's more than just moving
code around, I'm mentioning it here in case there's an unexpected
regression in practice! (cc @amtoaer in case you'd like to try out this
branch and verify that the feature is still working the way you expect.)
