About agent-shell
agent-shell is a native Emacs mode designed to interact with AI agents powered by the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).
agent-shell provides a shell-like experience for interacting with AI agents within Emacs, initially powered by comint mode. It also offers a viewport mode for a more focused interaction.
The latest updates introduce a chat mode, which fuses the traditional comint mode with a chat-like labeling experience, now enabled by default. This mode aims to provide a more intuitive conversational interface with AI agents.
The tool includes features for managing agent chatter, allowing users to expand or collapse grouped activities like tool calls and agent thinking. Users can configure this behavior to expand all, none, or only the latest activity.
Prompt queueing has been improved, consolidating related commands under `agent-shell-prompt-queue.el`. Users can queue prompts while an agent is busy, then view, resume, or remove pending prompts. A dedicated buffer for crafting prompts, `M-x agent-shell-prompt-compose`, allows for composing prompts from anywhere.
