SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Delegate tasks to a background coding agent to obtain second opinions, handle long-running work, or explore alternatives without blocking your current session.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Second opinion: Get an alternative perspective on a problem or approach.
  • Background work: Offload long-running refactors, test generation, or migrations while you continue working.
  • Parallel exploration: Run alternative strategies concurrently and compare results.
  • Live operation: Monitor progress, steer the delegated agent, or cancel if needed.

Quick Start

Start a background delegation by naming the session and prompting the agent with your task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate coding tasks to a background agent?

You can delegate coding tasks to a background agent by starting an acpx session, naming it, and prompting the agent with your task. This allows the work to run independently while you stay productive.

Can I run parallel code exploration while keeping my current session active?

Yes, you can run parallel exploration by delegating alternative strategies to a background coding agent. This allows you to compare results concurrently without blocking your current foreground session.

How do I monitor or steer a long-running background refactor?

You can monitor and steer a long-running background refactor using the defined session lifecycle. The agent supports live operations including checking status, steering the agent, or canceling the delegated task if needed.

Do I need acpx to run background coding sessions?

Yes, acpx is required to run background coding sessions. The delegation functionality relies on acpx to manage the lifecycle of background tasks, including foreground and long-steered modes with sandbox restrictions.

What is the best way to get a second opinion on a code approach without interrupting my workflow?

The best way to get a second opinion without interrupting your workflow is to delegate the problem to a background coding agent. This provides an alternative perspective on your approach while you continue working.

What are the limitations of running delegated tasks in a sandbox?

Delegated tasks operate under sandbox restrictions to ensure safety during background execution. While this isolates the long-running work, it may limit certain system-level operations until the session is explicitly closed.
