An early Qwen Code integration is now in agent-shell

github.com/xenodium/age...

#emacs #qwen #claude #anthropic #ai #google #goose #gemini #linux #github #macos #oss #foss #hackernews

This Emacs screenshot shows a dark-themed terminal buffer for "Qwen Code Agent" in the directory "~/stuff/active/code/agent-shell". At the top, large orange/yellow block letters spell "QWEN". Below, inviting text introduces the "agent shell" and suggests pressing RET for help. There’s a prompt (“qwen> hello”) with a green “completed” status and “Starting agent” in purple. The agent greets the user: "Hello! How can I assist you with the agent-shell project today?" The modeline at the bottom displays the project name, a rainbow progress bar, and status info.

If you can find a project that offers ACP for Copilot, then it's fairly straightforward to add support in agent-shell. For example, codex-acp does it for Codex github.com/cola-io/code.... If you find such a project, please file a feature request on agent-shell and I'll add support for it.

Thank you! I got another short one coming soon.

Enjoy the ride. Don't despair if the initial journey is a bit weird. It gets progressively more fun over time.

JetBrains is adopting ACP.

Every @jetbrains IDE will support any ACP-compatible agent. Combined with Zed, Neovim, and Emacs, that's one protocol implementation reaching developers everywhere.

Agent developers: the ecosystem just got real.

Introducing agent-shell.

A single consistent experience, powered by the agent of your choice.

This Emacs window is split vertically into two panels.

Left: Shows a shell for "Gemini" with the word GEMINI in large, pixel-style ASCII art. Below, it welcomes the user, describes available shell features, and displays a question about commit activity. It shows command outputs, steps of execution, and a list of recent commit messages.
Right: Shows a shell for "Claude Code" with the words CLAUDE CODE in large, orange ASCII art. Below, similar info is shown: welcome text, feature list, a question about commit activity, and corresponding commands. It also provides examples of available CLI commands and a permission prompt.
Both sides have a dark background with colored highlights for clarity.

Any Linux + Claude Code (or Gemini CLI) + Emacs users out there?

Looking to make my first public release of a new Emacs agent shell (via ACP). I could use eyes on Linux.

Ping me your GitHub handle and I'll invite ya.

I continue working on a provider-agnostic agent shell, powered by ACP.

I need to peek at ACP traffic all the time, so its traffic viewer gets some improvements...
