Pre-built acpx usage patterns for background, parallel, and crash-resilient sessions.

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 Patterns

Pre-built patterns for using `acpx` (Agent Control Protocol eXtended) to run Claude Code sessions in advanced modes.

## Background Monitor

Long-running monitoring session that watches for changes and reports:

```bash
acpx run --background --name "monitor" \
  --prompt "Watch for file changes in src/ and run tests on each change. Report failures." \
  --max-turns 100 \
  --allowed-tools Bash,Read,Glob,Grep
```

## Parallel Development

Run multiple independent tasks simultaneously:

```bash
# Task 1: Frontend work
acpx run --background --name "frontend" \
  --prompt "Implement the dashboard component per spec in tasks/spec-dashboard.md" \
  --allowed-tools Bash,Read,Write,Edit,Glob,Grep

# Task 2: Backend work
acpx run --background --name "backend" \
  --prompt "Implement the API endpoints per spec in tasks/spec-api.md" \
  --allowed-tools Bash,Read,Write,Edit,Glob,Grep

# Task 3: Tests
acpx run --background --name "tests" \
  --prompt "Write integration tests for the existing API routes" \
  --allowed-tools Bash,Read,Write,Edit,Glob,Grep

# Check status
acpx status --all
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kevinzai/commander/acpx-patterns@sha256:f8f4f1c6efef33c7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
