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.
