ACP Is the Bridge Between Knowledge Work and Build Work
Knowledge agents and coding agents are powerful in isolation but can't talk to each other. The Agent Client Protocol (ACP) is the open standard that connects them — turning your orchestrator into a team lead that delegates build tasks without breaking flow.
