ACP (Agent Client Protocol) runtime plugin for [Paperclip](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip). Run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and other coding agents from any chat platform through thread-bound sessions.

Built on the Paperclip plugin SDK.

## Why this exists

Paperclip's chat plugins (Telegram, Discord, Slack) let users interact with agents through messaging platforms, but they need a runtime to actually spawn and manage coding agent processes. The ACP plugin is that runtime - it bridges chat messages to subprocess-managed coding agents over stdio, following the [Agent Client Protocol](https://agentclientprotocol.com/) standard created by Zed Industries.

Without this plugin, the `/acp spawn`, `/acp status`, and `/acp close` commands in the chat plugins have nothing to connect to.

## What it does

### Agent lifecycle management
- **Spawn agents** as subprocesses over stdio from any chat platform
- **Persistent sessions** - agents stay alive for follow-up prompts within the same thread
