## What it is
An ACP (Agent Client Protocol) adapter that exposes the Claude Agent SDK to any ACP-compatible client. It bridges protocol features like tool permissions, subagent transcripts, and slash commands between Claude agents and external clients.

## Use cases
- connect claude agent sdk to acp clients
- build an acp-compatible coding agent
- expose claude code features over agent client protocol
- run claude agents from a custom editor client
- handle tool permission requests in an agent client
- render nested subagent transcripts in an acp client

## When to choose
- you are building an ACP client or agent and want Claude Agent SDK capabilities
- you need protocol-level features like permission requests, edit review, or subagent transcripts
- you want a maintained, Apache-2.0 licensed adapter on npm

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose agent framework rather than a Claude-specific adapter
- your client does not speak ACP and you cannot adopt the protocol
- you need a non-TypeScript/Node.js runtime
