# ACP Router

Route a plain-language request to the right ACPX harness.

## Decision rules

1. If the user's wording names a harness explicitly ("run this in Claude
   Code", "ask Cursor to..."), use that as `harness` directly.
2. If the user wants Codex chat conversation, prefer the native Codex
   binding (a separate skill); use ACPX Codex only when ACP/`/acp`/acpx
   is named explicitly or when background spawn is needed.
3. Default `mode` to `session` so follow-up turns can be added with
   `acp_send`. Use `one-shot` only when the user asked for a single
   non-interactive task.

## Procedure

1. Call `list_acp_agents` to confirm the chosen agentId is `resolvable`.
   If not, call `acp_doctor` and surface the doctor message to the user.
2. Call `acp_spawn(agent_id=harness, task=<task>, cwd=<cwd>, mode=<mode>)`.
3. Return `{session_id, agent_id, transcript_path}` from the spawn result.

## Failure handling

- If `acp_spawn` returns `code: AGENT_NOT_FOUND`, do NOT silently fall
  back to a different harness. Report the missing CLI to the user, name
  the install instruction (e.g. "install the Claude Code CLI"), and ask
  whether they want to retry with a different harness.
- If `acp_spawn` returns `code: PERMISSION_DENIED`, the runtime is in
  `deny-all` mode. Report this to the user; do not try to bypass.
