Why Acplite?

Most coding agent CLIs (claude, codex, agy) don't speak the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) natively. Acplite bridges them directly in C# with zero Node.js wrappers, so you can control any local coding agent through one unified interface:

• One API for 4 Agents: Bridges claude, codex, grok, and agy into a single strongly-typed ACP event stream.
• SDK + stdio Server: Embed Acplite.Sdk in your .NET app or run acplite serve <provider> for Zed, JetBrains, or Neovim.
• Live Session Discovery & Tailing: Finds local sessions on disk and live-tails .jsonl transcripts in real time without locking files.
• Mid-Turn Steering & Quota Probes: Steer active turns on the fly, approve tool calls, and check 5h / 7d rate-limit windows.

Supported Coding Agents

Installation

.NET Global Tool (acplite CLI)

dotnet tool install --global Acplite

NuGet Library (Acplite.Sdk)

dotnet add package Acplite.Sdk

Standalone Binaries

Every release also ships a single self-contained executable, built with NativeAOT, that needs no .NET runtime installed:

Quick Start (CLI)

# 1. Discover installed coding agents on your machine
acplite providers

# 2. List active & recent sessions across Claude, Codex, Grok, and Antigravity
acplite sessions
acplite sessions agy

# 3. Live-tail an active terminal session in real time
acplite tail <session-id>

# 4. Run or resume a session interactively
acplite run claude "Refactor the auth middleware to use SemaphoreSlim" --cwd /path/to/repo
acplite run agy "Add unit tests for the new parser" --session <conversation-id>

# 5. Check account rate-limit & quota windows
acplite usage

C# SDK Usage

using Acplite.Sdk;
using Acplite.Sdk.Protocol;

await using var runtime = new AcpliteRuntime();

// 1. Discover installed providers & recent local sessions
var providers = await runtime.DiscoverProvidersAsync(cancellationToken: ct);
var sessions = await runtime.DiscoverSessionsAsync(providerFilter: null, maxSessionsPerProvider: 25, ct);

// 2. Start or resume a session on any provider
await using var session = await runtime.StartSessionAsync(new AcpSessionConfig
{
    Provider = AgentProviderKind.Claude,
    WorkingDirectory = "/Users/me/project",
    SessionId = sessions.FirstOrDefault()?.SessionId,
    ResumeExisting = true,
    AutoApproveTools = false
}, ct);

// 3. Stream unified events (thinking, text deltas, tool calls, permission requests)
_ = Task.Run(async () =>
{
    await foreach (var ev in session.ReadEventsAsync(ct))
    {
        switch (ev)
        {
            case AcpThinkingDeltaEvent thought:
                Console.Write(thought.Delta);
                break;
            case AcpAssistantTextDeltaEvent text:
                Console.Write(text.Delta);
                break;
            case AcpPermissionRequestEvent perm:
                await session.RespondPermissionAsync(perm.RequestId, approved: true, cancellationToken: ct);
                break;
        }
    }
});

// 4. Send a prompt, steer mid-turn, queue next-turn messages, or interrupt
await session.SendPromptAsync("Inspect the failing tests and fix the race condition.", ct);
await session.SteerAsync("Use SemaphoreSlim instead of lock.", ct);
await session.EnqueuePromptAsync("After fixing the tests, update the XML docs.", ct);
// Or interrupt the active turn and immediately start a new turn:
// await session.InterruptAndSendPromptAsync("Stop and check the build config first.", ct);

Stdio ACP Bridge for Editors & Hosts

Run acplite serve <provider> to expose any supported CLI as a standards-compliant ACP JSON-RPC 2.0 server over stdin/stdout for Zed, JetBrains, Neovim, or any ACP host:
