}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Zed.

plan_a_build is surfaced in the client's prompt or command menu. Unlike a tool, you invoke it deliberately — Zed will not call it for you.

04
If it does not appear, check that PrintPal is connected and that you are looking at its prompts rather than its tools.
Merge this into your existing settings object — do not replace the file. Zed docs
Same prompt, other clients
Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling prompts/list on 16 October 2026.
A listing does not declare its prompts, so asking is the only way to know them, and this
is what the server actually offers rather than what its listing claims. Names only are
stored; connect the server for each prompt's arguments.
