Currently, with zig 0.16 the agent has to have access to the zig compiler and std library to even produce code that will compile.

If you have zig installed, you can run ‘zig std’ to see that.

You still have the limitations of attention etc…

Even zed’s agent will leverage that built in tarball, but it doesn’t solve the problem, especially as some of the languages killer features are unavailable in C and other languages.
