+# ACP (Agent Client Protocol) Examples
+
+This directory contains examples for using PraisonAI with the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).
+
+## What is ACP?
+
+The Agent Client Protocol (ACP) is a standardized JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol that allows code editors and IDEs to communicate with AI coding agents. It enables seamless integration between PraisonAI and editors like:
+
+- **Zed**
+- **JetBrains IDEs** (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.)
+- **VSCode** (via extensions)
+- **Toad**
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### CLI Usage
+
+```bash
+# Start ACP server with defaults
+praisonai acp
+
+# Enable debug logging
+praisonai acp --debug
+
+# Allow file writes
+praisonai acp --allow-write
+
+# Use a specific model
+praisonai acp -m gpt-4o
+
+# Resume last session
+praisonai acp --resume --last
+```
+
+### Python API
+
+```python
+from praisonai.acp import serve
+
+serve(
+    workspace=".",
+    debug=True,
+    allow_write=True,
+)
+```
+
+## Editor Configuration
+
+### Zed
+
+Add to `~/.config/zed/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agent_servers": {
+    "PraisonAI": {
+      "command": "praisonai",
+      "args": ["acp"],
+      "env": {}
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### JetBrains
+
+Add to `~/.jetbrains/acp.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agent_servers": {
+    "PraisonAI": {
+      "command": "praisonai",
+      "args": ["acp"],
+      "env": {}
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Toad
+
+```bash
+toad acp "praisonai acp"
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+- `basic_acp_server.py` - Simple ACP server with default settings
+- `custom_agent_acp.py` - ACP server with a custom agent
+
+## CLI Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `-w, --workspace` | Workspace root directory |
+| `-a, --agent` | Agent name or config file |
+| `-m, --model` | LLM model to use |
+| `-r, --resume` | Resume session by ID |
+| `--last` | Resume the last session |
+| `--approve` | Approval mode: manual, auto, scoped |
+| `--read-only` | Read-only mode (default) |
+| `--allow-write` | Allow file writes |
+| `--allow-shell` | Allow shell commands |
+| `--debug` | Enable debug logging |
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install praisonai[acp]
+```
+
+## Protocol Details
+
+ACP uses JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio:
+- **stdin**: Receives JSON-RPC requests from the client
+- **stdout**: Sends JSON-RPC responses to the client
+- **stderr**: Debug/log output (never pollutes stdout)
+
+### Supported Methods
+
+**Agent Methods (client → agent):**
+- `initialize` - Negotiate protocol version and capabilities
+- `authenticate` - Optional authentication
+- `session/new` - Create a new session
+- `session/load` - Load an existing session
+- `session/prompt` - Send user message
+- `session/cancel` - Cancel ongoing operations
+- `session/set_mode` - Change operating mode
+
+**Client Methods (agent → client):**
+- `session/update` - Send progress updates
+- `session/request_permission` - Request user approval
+- `fs/read_text_file` - Read file contents
+- `fs/write_text_file` - Write file contents
+- `terminal/create` - Create terminal
+- `terminal/output` - Get terminal output

+
+| Backend  | Script               | Extra env vars                                   |

+| Discord  | `discord_approval.py` | `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`, `DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID`        |
+| HTTP     | `http_approval.py`    | *(none — opens a local web dashboard)*           |
+| Agent    | `agent_approval.py`   | *(none — AI reviewer agent decides)*             |

+optional SSL bypass:
+
+```bash
+export PRAISONAI_DISCORD_SSL_VERIFY=false
+export PRAISONAI_TELEGRAM_SSL_VERIFY=false
+```
+
+Default is `true` (secure).

+## Usage Forms
+
+Each consolidated param supports multiple input forms:
+
+```python
+# Bool - enable with defaults
+memory=True
+
+# String preset
+memory="sqlite"
+
+# Dict config
+memory={"backend": "sqlite", "user_id": "user123"}
+
+# Config instance
+memory=MemoryConfig(backend="sqlite", user_id="user123")
+
+# Array with overrides (for some params)
+guardrails=["strict", {"max_retries": 10}]
+```
+
+## Running Examples
+
+```bash
+# Set API key
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here
+
+# Run any example
+python basic_agent.py

+# Attention Is All You Need
+
+## Abstract
+
+The dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent or 
+convolutional neural networks that include an encoder and a decoder. The best
+performing models also connect the encoder and decoder through an attention
+mechanism. We propose a new simple network architecture, the Transformer,
+based solely on attention mechanisms, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions
+entirely. 
+
+## Introduction
+
+Recurrent neural networks, long short-term memory and gated recurrent neural 
+networks in particular, have been firmly established as state of the art 
+approaches in sequence modeling and transduction problems such as language 
+modeling and machine translation. 
+
+## Background
+
+The goal of reducing sequential computation also forms the foundation of the 
+Extended Neural GPU, ByteNet and ConvS2S, all of which use convolutional neural
+networks as basic building block.
+
+## Model Architecture
+
+### Encoder and Decoder Stacks
+
+The encoder is composed of a stack of N = 6 identical layers. Each layer has 
+two sub-layers. The first is a multi-head self-attention mechanism, and the 
+second is a simple, position-wise fully connected feed-forward network.
+
+### Attention
+
+An attention function can be described as mapping a query and a set of key-value
+pairs to an output, where the query, keys, values, and output are all vectors.
+
+#### Scaled Dot-Product Attention
+
+We call our particular attention "Scaled Dot-Product Attention". The input 
+consists of queries and keys of dimension dk, and values of dimension dv.
+
+The formula is: Attention(Q, K, V) = softmax(QK^T / sqrt(d_k))V
+
+### Multi-Head Attention
+
+Multi-head attention allows the model to jointly attend to information from
+different representation subspaces at different positions.
+
+## Results
+
+### Machine Translation
+
+On the WMT 2014 English-to-German translation task, the big transformer model
+outperforms the best previously reported models including ensembles.
+
+The model achieved a BLEU score of 28.4 on the WMT 2014 English-to-German 
+translation task, improving over the existing best results by over 2 BLEU.
+
+On the WMT 2014 English-to-French translation task, our big model achieves 
+a BLEU score of 41.8, outperforming all published single models.
+
+### Training
+
+Training took 3.5 days on 8 P100 GPUs. The big model was trained for 300,000
+steps (3.5 days) at a cost of approximately $1000 in cloud compute.
+
+## Model Variations
+
+| Model | Parameters | BLEU EN-DE | BLEU EN-FR |
+|-------|------------|------------|------------|
+| Base  | 65M        | 27.3       | 38.1       |
+| Big   | 213M       | 28.4       | 41.8       |
+
+The base model has 65 million parameters (65 × 10^6).
+The big model has 213 million parameters.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+In this work, we presented the Transformer, the first sequence transduction
+model based entirely on attention, replacing the recurrent layers most commonly
+used in encoder-decoder architectures with multi-headed self-attention.
+
+The Transformer can be trained significantly faster than architectures based
+on recurrent or convolutional layers.
