JetBrains is adopting ACP.

Every @jetbrains IDE will support any ACP-compatible agent. Combined with Zed, Neovim, and Emacs, that's one protocol implementation reaching developers everywhere.

Agent developers: the ecosystem just got real.

Introducing agent-shell.

A single consistent experience, powered by the agent of your choice.

This Emacs window is split vertically into two panels.

Left: Shows a shell for "Gemini" with the word GEMINI in large, pixel-style ASCII art. Below, it welcomes the user, describes available shell features, and displays a question about commit activity. It shows command outputs, steps of execution, and a list of recent commit messages.
Right: Shows a shell for "Claude Code" with the words CLAUDE CODE in large, orange ASCII art. Below, similar info is shown: welcome text, feature list, a question about commit activity, and corresponding commands. It also provides examples of available CLI commands and a permission prompt.
Both sides have a dark background with colored highlights for clarity.

Any Linux + Claude Code (or Gemini CLI) + Emacs users out there?

Looking to make my first public release of a new Emacs agent shell (via ACP). I could use eyes on Linux.

Ping me your GitHub handle and I'll invite ya.

I continue working on a provider-agnostic agent shell, powered by ACP.

I need to peek at ACP traffic all the time, so its traffic viewer gets some improvements...

Introducing acp.el. A UI-agnostic library to build ACP-based Emacs packages.

Certainly. There’s a fair bit of duplication across AI packages. While package authors may still want to build opinionated experiences, we can benefit from common libraries. This time around, I’m building an acp.el (non-UI) implementation, which we can share. github.com/xenodium/acp...

This image is a screenshot of a dark-themed Emacs editor showing logs and some JSON data.

### The top section:
- Contains a list of timestamped log messages (in the format `HH:MM:SS.mmm`) showing interactions in a client-server session.
- Each log entry includes:
- The time.
- The type of action (e.g., "request", "response", "notification").
- The specific request or event (e.g., "initialize", "session/new", "session/update").
- Some log entries use green or blue colored text for better visual distinction.
- Multiple repeated "session/update" notifications are shown.

### The lower section:
- Shows a JSON object labeled as "*json object*".
- The JSON represents an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) message:
- version: 2.0
- method: "session/update"
- params:
- sessionId (a UUID)
- update:
- sessionUpdate: "agent_message_chunk"
- content:
- type: "text"
- text: A message that says:
"I'll help you analyze xenodium's activity in this repository. Let me check the git history and contributor statistics."

### Sections:
- There are divider tabs labeled "*acp traffic*" and "L7 Fundamental ...", possibly indicating different files or panels in the editor.
