What ACP Debug does

ACP Debug runs an ACP agent CLI, speaks raw JSON-RPC, and records every wire frame to JSONL. Use it to probe capabilities, inspect handshakes, compare agents, or diagnose startup and session failures.

ACP Debug is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. ACP Debug comes from a repository tagged acp, agent-orchestration, agentic-ai, agentic-development-environment and ai-agents.

README

Excerpt

ACP Debug

Run a headless ACP JSON-RPC session against any registered kandev agent (or an arbitrary command), record every wire frame to a JSONL file, and summarize the handshake. Backed by the acpdbg binary at apps/backend/bin/acpdbg.

When to use this skill

"what models does auggie advertise"

"what does a session/new response actually look like for X"
"try this prompt against auggie with mode=ask"
"reproduce session/load for session against claude-acp"
User mentions inspecting raw ACP wire payloads or a JSONL file from an earlier run
