Drilldown

Presentation & Onboarding — 12 / 17

Criterion	Max	Score	Notes
Configuration-mode examples	12	12	README provides examples for major modes: specific directory (folder), custom display name and order, custom agent name, and managed settings including MCP servers. Each example is complete and sensible.
Visual preview	5	0	README contains no embedded image, GIF, or video. The icon reference does not count as a visual preview.

IDE Integration — 25 / 25

Criterion	Max	Score	Notes
Dashboard entry point	7	7	coder_app resource with proper zed:// URL scheme for launch behavior.
Managed configuration	6	6	Documented support for managed settings via settings variable with coder_script that writes to ~/.config/zed/settings.json. README includes MCP server configuration example.
Configurable folder or workdir	6	6	folder variable documented with example showing /home/coder/project, appended to the Zed URL.
Pre-installed extensions	6	6	N/A - Zed is not a web IDE. Criterion excluded per rubric. Score normalized.

Credential Hygiene — 20 / 20

Criterion	Max	Score	Notes
Secrets marked sensitive	16	16	No sensitive inputs exist in this module. The settings variable contains configuration, not secrets. README examples show no inline secrets.
Non-hardcoded auth path	4	4	Module requires Coder CLI with coder config-ssh or Coder Desktop, both of which avoid pasting raw keys. README documents this requirement.

Restricted-Environment Readiness — N/A

Criterion	Max	Score	Notes
Mirrorable artifact source	5	N/A	Module downloads nothing; it only creates a coder_app link and optionally writes a settings file. No external artifacts are fetched.
Bring-your-own binary	10	N/A	Module downloads nothing; Zed must already be installed on the user's local machine. No install/download to disable.
Egress transparency	3	N/A	Module makes no external network calls from the workspace. The coder_app URL is a local protocol handler.
Runs without sudo	2	N/A	The coder_script bash script never invokes sudo and runs entirely as the user. However, since all other criteria are N/A, this theme is excluded entirely per rubric normalization rules.

Engineering Quality — 10 / 10

Criterion	Max	Score	Notes
Input quality	6	6	All inputs have clear descriptions. Defaults are sensible (empty string for optional folder/settings, null for order/group). No validation blocks needed for the string/number types used.
Test coverage	4	4	.tftest.hcl covers business logic (URL construction, folder paths, agent names, settings encoding, empty settings). TypeScript tests in main.test.ts cover end-to-end behavior (settings file creation, JSON merging with jq, special characters).

Overall — 93 / 100

Raw 67 / 72 → round(67 / 72 × 100) = 93

Restricted-Environment Readiness is N/A (module downloads nothing, makes no external calls from workspace).
