acp

To delegate coding tasks, you use ACP to spawn external coding agents like Codex or Claude Code as subprocesses over stdio. This enables the autonomous agents to run in your project directory, edit files, and stream results directly back into your session.

You control an in-flight coding agent session using built-in lifecycle management tools. You can check status, steer to interrupt an ongoing task, abort the session entirely, or list available agents to manage the autonomous subprocess execution.

Yes, you need ACP adapters installed and available on your system PATH to use coding delegation. The skill relies on these adapters to spawn and communicate with external coding agents over standard input and output streams.

Yes, you can run multiple coding agents in parallel because ACP supports configurable concurrency and allows you to set the working directory. Running agents in chosen project roots reduces accidental edits and enables parallel work.

The best way to monitor an autonomous coding subprocess is by using ACP session control tools. You can stream their progress back into your session and use the status tool to check the real-time state of the spawned agents.

Your ACP agent fails to spawn or list external coding tools when the required ACP adapters are not installed or missing from the system PATH. Use the list-agents tool to surface these setup gaps and verify your adapter configuration.
