# ACP Remote

Connect to a remote ACP (Agent Client Protocol) server and execute commands using `imclaw-cli`.

## Prerequisites

### Auto-install dependencies

Before using this skill, ensure both `imclaw-cli` and `acpx` are installed. Run these commands to install them automatically:

```bash
# Install acpx (ACP protocol support)
if ! command -v acpx &> /dev/null; then
  npm install -g acpx@latest
fi

# Install imclaw-cli
if ! command -v imclaw-cli &> /dev/null; then
  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smallnest/imclaw/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
fi
```

### Manual installation

#### Install acpx

```bash
npm install -g acpx@latest
```

#### Install imclaw-cli

From GitHub Releases:

```bash
# 1. Detect your platform
OS=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
ARCH=$(uname -m)
[ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ] && ARCH="amd64"
[ "$ARCH" = "aarch64" ] && ARCH="arm64"

# 2. Get latest release version
LATEST=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/smallnest/imclaw/releases/latest | grep '"tag_name"' | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/')

# 3. Download and extract
curl -sL "https://github.com/smallnest/imclaw/releases/download/${LATEST}/imclaw_${OS}_${ARCH}.tar.gz" | tar xz -C /tmp

# 4. Install to PATH
mkdir -p ~/bin
mv /tmp/imclaw-cli ~/bin/
chmod +x ~/bin/imclaw-cli

# 5. Ensure ~/bin is in PATH
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc
```

### Verify installation

```bash
imclaw-cli --help
acpx --version
```

## Configuration

Set the remote server URL and optional auth token:

```bash
# Default server (can be omitted if using default)
export IMCLAW_SERVER="ws://your-server:8080/ws"

# Auth token (if server requires authentication)
export IMCLAW_TOKEN="your-secret-token"
```

Or pass directly via command line.

### Server Configuration

IMClaw server uses command line flags (no config file needed):

```bash
# Start server with default settings
imclaw

# Custom port and auth token
imclaw --port 9000 --token my-secret-token

# Show help
imclaw --help
```

| Flag | Default | Description |
|------|---------|-------------|
| `-H, --host` | `0.0.0.0` | Server host address |
| `-p, --port` | `8080` | Server port |
| `--timeout` | `30` | Default timeout in seconds |
| `--token` | `""` | Authentication token (empty = no auth) |

## Usage

### One-shot mode (recommended)

```bash
# Basic usage
imclaw-cli --server ws://your-server:8080/ws -p "Hello"

# With auth token
imclaw-cli --server ws://your-server:8080/ws --token your-token -p "Hello"

# Use specific agent
imclaw-cli --server ws://your-server:8080/ws --agent codex -p "Analyze this code"

# JSON output
imclaw-cli --server ws://your-server:8080/ws --format json -p "List files"
```

### Continue a session

```bash
# First message creates session, returns session ID
imclaw-cli --server ws://your-server:8080/ws -p "Read the README.md"

# Continue with same session
imclaw-cli --server ws://your-server:8080/ws --session <session-id> -p "Summarize it"
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `--server` | WebSocket URL of ACP server (default: ws://localhost:8080/ws) |
| `--token` | Authentication token (if required) |
| `-p, --prompt` | Prompt message (one-shot mode) |
| `--session` | Session ID to continue |
| `--agent` | Agent type: claude, codex, etc. (default: claude) |
| `--format` | Output format: text, json, quiet (default: text) |
| `--approve-all` | Auto-approve all permission requests |
| `--approve-reads` | Auto-approve reads, prompt for writes (default) |
| `--deny-all` | Deny all permission requests |
| `--allowed-tools` | Comma-separated tool names (default: Bash,Read,Write) |
| `--cwd` | Working directory |
| `--timeout` | Max wait time in seconds |
| `--model` | Agent model ID |

## Examples

### Execute shell commands on remote

```bash
imclaw-cli --server ws://remote-server:8080/ws \
  --agent claude \
  --approve-all \
  -p "Run 'df -h' and show disk usage"
```

### Analyze remote codebase

```bash
imclaw-cli --server ws://remote-server:8080/ws \
  --cwd /path/to/project \
  -p "Review the main.go file and suggest improvements"
```

### Use with SSH tunnel

```bash
# Create SSH tunnel first
ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 user@remote-server -N &

# Connect via localhost
imclaw-cli --server ws://localhost:8080/ws -p "Hello from remote"
```

### Secure connection with token

```bash
# Server configured with auth_token
imclaw-cli \
  --server wss://secure-server:8080/ws \
  --token "your-secret-token" \
  -p "Execute analysis task"
```

## Environment Variables

For convenience, you can set these environment variables:

```bash
# In ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export IMCLAW_SERVER="ws://your-server:8080/ws"
export IMCLAW_TOKEN="your-token"
```

Then simply run:
```bash
imclaw-cli --server $IMCLAW_SERVER --token $IMCLAW_TOKEN -p "Hello"
```

## Tips

1. **Session reuse**: Save the session ID from first response to continue conversations
2. **Permission control**: Use `--approve-all` for non-interactive automation
3. **Output parsing**: Use `--format json` for programmatic consumption
4. **Tool restrictions**: Use `--allowed-tools` to limit what the agent can do
5. **Working directory**: Always specify `--cwd` for file operations
