Instructions for using the Zed code editor with C++ tools, browser automation, and image files.

It helps diagnose missing C++ include paths, handle binary files, and clear leftover Playwright browser processes.

It documents editor and tool-specific problems that can otherwise cause misleading errors or stuck processes.

ide-zed — Skill for Claude Code by AxGord

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add AxGord/claude-workflow --skill ide-zed

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AxGord/claude-workflow

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install workflow, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 28 skills, 2 hooks, 1 MCP server.

Per session 9 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

When invoked 278 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00009	$0.00278
Opus 5	$0.00005	$0.00139
Sonnet 5	$0.00002	$0.00056
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00028

Security

Grade A, and why

ide-zed scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Zed IDE Integration

Read can't read binary files (PNG, etc.) — Zed bug #48133 (open, P2). Use display tree for state, not screenshots.
Stale Playwright processes accumulate → pkill -f playwright 2>/dev/null if browser behaves unexpectedly.
clangd relative -I paths in .clangd resolve from the source file's directory, not the project root (when no compile_commands.json exists). Files in subdirectories (e.g. project/common/foo.cpp) will fail to find includes specified as -I./some-dir in .clangd CompileFlags.Add.

WRONG — .clangd:
```
CompileFlags:
  Add: [-I./native, -I./project/common]
```
RIGHT — compile_flags.txt in the project root:
```
-I./native
-I./project/common
```
clangd uses the compile_flags.txt parent directory as CWD, so paths resolve correctly from the root. Keep .clangd for non-path flags (warnings, diagnostics, If/PathMatch overrides) only.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ide-zed is a skill published in the GitHub repository AxGord/claude-workflow (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 278 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
