Why I Built ACP: A Coordination Platform for Autonomous Coding Agents

Short summary

ACP provides durable operational primitives—work units, leases, checkpoints, event history—enabling multiple AI agents to safely collaborate on the same repository without git locks or implicit communication. Rather than treating conversations as truth, it models shared workspace state, allowing agents to resume work via event reconstruction. Built on Effect and TypeScript, it's infrastructure-agnostic, supporting local, container, cloud, or CI execution equally.

• •ACP solves multi-agent collaboration through durable operational state, not chat-based task management
• •Event-driven architecture allows agents to reconstruct workspace state without original context
• •Infrastructure-agnostic design supports local repos, containers, cloud, and CI environments equally
