System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to integrate, review, debug, or explain the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) between coding agents and editor or IDE clients. It covers initialization, capability negotiation, session lifecycle handling, prompt and update streaming, tool calls and permission requests, filesystem or terminal bridges, MCP server wiring, session modes or config options, slash commands, transports, and ACP extension points.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized JSON-RPC surface for agent-editor communication.
  • Guidance for lifecycle events: initialize, session/new, session/prompt, session/update, session/cancel.
  • Clear rules for content blocks, tool calls, permissions, and MCP transports.
  • Practical scenarios: validating protocol implementations, debugging integration issues, reviewing ACP surfaces.

Quick Start

Initialize ACP integration testing between an agent and an editor client and verify session lifecycle methods and capability negotiation.
