Ecosystem overview for everything related to ide-protocol.
The Agent Client Protocol (ACP) is an open protocol designed to standardize communication between code editors and generative AI coding agents. It defines a set of specifications, interfaces, and data structures, enabling various code editors to seamlessly interact with diverse AI coding agents for AI-driven code modification, generation, and refactoring. By providing a unified communication mechanism, ACP significantly enhances interoperability and ecosystem development for AI tools in development environments.
