So many improvements, thanks!
Do you have any plans/ideas to find ways to support claude after the 15th of June without having to use sdk or claude -p billing tier?
If someone builds an ACP server proxying to CLI (its the only idea I've heard of so far), agent-shell should be able to hook up to it. Building the proxy is out of scope for agent-shell though.
Oh no! I discovered agent-shell through this update and it looks vey neat (and certainly a step up from running CLI Claude Code in an EAT terminal). But the fun won't last long with this billing change, I suppose.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone were to build a local ACP-compatible bridge that runs Claude Code CLI as a subprocess, streams its stdout/stderr and lifecycle events to ACP clients, and optionally forwards prompts/approvals back to the CLI. It is dumb, but that's where we're at. It doesn't seem like a crazy task, especially with llms...
Frankly I don't get why anthropic put this limitation in place, people will just have to juggle between the cli and their usual acp client, making it a pain, and might just move to a competitor without this limitation over time rather than have to cope with this. Lose-lose kind of situation.
