Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 7)

Zerminal is a terminal-first IDE forked from Zed, designed to streamline AI coding agent workflows by auto-detecting CLI agents like Claude Code and Aider and running them side-by-side in dedicated panes. It offers a minimal, fast workspace that prioritizes the terminal over the editor, with supporting panels for context and navigation. The project is notable for its pragmatic fork approach and focus on multi-agent parallelism.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, devops
