Summary
When running Auggie CLI via Zed's Agent Client Protocol (ACP) integration
(auggie --acp), there is no way to select or switch models from within
Zed's UI. Zed normally shows a model selection dropdown for ACP agents,
but it doesn't appear when the agent is Auggie.
Current behavior
-
The model dropdown is missing/not functional in Zed when connected to
Auggie via ACP.
-
The only way to set a model is to hardcode it via the --model flag in
the agent_servers config in Zed's settings.json, e.g.:
{
"agent_servers": {
"Auggie CLI": {
"command": "auggie",
"args": ["--acp", "--model", "claude-opus-5"],
"env": {}
}
}
}
-
This requires editing settings.json and restarting the agent every time
a user wants to change models — there's no in-session switching.
Expected behavior
Ideally, Auggie's ACP mode would expose the available models (e.g. via
the ACP model listing capability, if supported by the protocol) so that
Zed can render its native model selection dropdown, similar to other ACP
agents.
Additional context
Environment
- Auggie CLI version: 0.36.0 (commit 7c61e5bb)
- Zed version: 1.16.1
