Theme

Obsidian Prism - a dark theme built on a near-black #080909 base with translucent backgrounds and VS Code–inspired syntax highlighting.

Highlights

• AI - Claude Opus 4 (thinking) as the default agent model, with Context7 MCP tools auto-allowed
• Appearance - Bar cursor, comfortable project panel spacing, no horizontal scrollbar, Base Charmed Icons
• Privacy - Telemetry fully disabled

Rules

Three agent rules in the prompt library:

• Git Commit - Modified built-in rule enforcing Conventional Commits format (type(scope): Subject), imperative mood, 50-char subject limit, and minimal body usage
• Context7 - Caps maxTokens at 5000 when calling the query-docs MCP tool to avoid flooding the context window
• Writing Style - UK English spelling, no em dashes or emojis, minimal inline comments, and proper documentation standards per language (JSDoc, docstrings, etc.)

Setup

git clone git@github.com:dcrdev/zed-config.git ~/.config/zed
