| description | Bridge a remote Agent Computer machine agent into a local ACP-compatible stdio process using `computer acp serve`. Use when a local agent client or ACP tool needs to talk to Claude or another remote machine agent through one local command. |

Computer ACP
Use this skill when a local ACP-capable client should treat a remote machine agent as if it were a local ACP server.
What this does
computer acp serve starts a local stdio ACP bridge. The remote machine stays in the cloud, but the local client speaks ACP to the bridge process.
That means you can point an ACP client at a command like:
computer acp serve <machine> --agent claude --name review
Setup
- Ensure the CLI exists.
if command -v computer >/dev/null 2>&1; then
COMPUTER=computer
elif command -v aicomputer >/dev/null 2>&1; then
COMPUTER=aicomputer
else
npm install -g aicomputer
COMPUTER=computer
fi
- Verify auth.
$COMPUTER whoami || $COMPUTER login
- Pick a machine and agent.
$COMPUTER ls --json
$COMPUTER agent agents <machine> --json
Start the bridge
$COMPUTER acp serve <machine> --agent claude --name review
Keep that process running. The local ACP client should launch or connect to this command over stdio.
Recommended pattern
- Use one stable machine per bridge.
- Use one stable session name per task thread.
- Prefer a named session like
review or debug so reconnects stay simple.
- Use the normal
computer-fleet skill if you only need CLI control and not ACP interoperability.
Example
If acpx is installed, a typical shape is:
acpx --agent "computer acp serve <machine> --agent claude --name review" "fix the failing tests"
Limits
- This bridge is for agent chat/session control, not direct filesystem or terminal passthrough.
- If the bridge process exits, the ACP client loses the connection and should reconnect by starting the command again.
Protocol notes
Read references/acp-flow.md for the supported ACP flow and expected behavior.
