ACP

Domain: DSH Fundamentals

Motivation

The ACP profile serves automation clients over ACP (Agent Client Protocol) stdio until disconnect. The @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-app bundle is a profile over dsh-base that sets the coding-agent persona and default model route and starts dsh-acp only after its app-owned command provider accepts the invocation, so dsh --profile acp --help prints help and exits without claiming stdin or stdout. Developers care because it is the automation entry point for external clients.

Concrete Example

dsh --profile acp serves automation clients over ACP stdio until disconnect.

Analogy

It is a ticketed service desk for automation: clients queue requests and receive responses over a wire.
