Use acpx as a headless ACP CLI for agent-to-agent communication, including prompt/exec/sessions workflows, session scoping, queueing, permissions, and output formats.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# acpx

## When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to run coding agents through `acpx`, manage persistent ACP sessions, queue prompts, or consume structured agent output from scripts.

## What acpx is

`acpx` is a headless, scriptable CLI client for the Agent Client Protocol (ACP). It is built for agent-to-agent communication over the command line and avoids PTY scraping.

Core capabilities:

- Persistent multi-turn sessions per repo/cwd
- One-shot execution mode (`exec`)
- Named parallel sessions (`-s/--session`)
- Queue-aware prompt submission with optional fire-and-forget (`--no-wait`)
- Cooperative cancel command (`cancel`) for in-flight turns
- Graceful cancellation via ACP `session/cancel` on interrupt
- Session control methods (`set-mode`, `set <key> <value>`)
- Agent reconnect/resume after dead subprocess detection
- Prompt input via stdin or `--file`
- Config files with global+project merge and `config show|init`
- Session metadata/history inspection (`sessions show`, `sessions history`)
- Local agent process checks via `status`
- Stable ACP client methods for filesystem and terminal requests
- Stable ACP `authenticate` handshake via env/config credentials

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kevinzai/commander/acpx@sha256:7a6e578cac6c7a30

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260323.acfb436, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
