Use Claude Agent SDK from ACP-compatible clients!

This tool implements an ACP agent by using the official Claude Agent SDK, supporting:

  • Context @-mentions
  • Images
  • Tool calls (with permission requests)
  • Following
  • Edit review
  • TODO lists
  • Nested subagent transcripts
  • Interactive (and background) terminals
  • Custom Slash commands
  • Client MCP servers

Learn more about the Agent Client Protocol.

Nested subagent transcripts

ACP 1.2 has no standard subagent tool kind or nested-message relationship. Clients that can render nested transcripts can opt in with clientCapabilities._meta["subagent-transcript"] = true. The agent then forwards subagent text, thinking, and tool calls, relating nested updates to the launching Agent/Task call through _meta.claudeCode.parentToolUseId. Agent/Task calls are marked with _meta.claudeCode.subagent = true.

Clients that do not advertise the capability retain the legacy flattened behavior. In both modes, the normal Agent/Task tool result is preserved as the protocol-compatible fallback.
