Hi,
For those that do not like AI - please stop reading, nothing interesting down the line.
For those interested:
I created a package that allows you to embed an AI agent in your program. It uses the ACP (Agent Client Protocol) protocol which is meanwhile supported by all major agents:
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/acp
There are several demos, including a TUI demo.
The repo contains also a lazacpclient.lpk: this is a package that allows you to control an AI agent in the IDE itself.
- It supports multiple simultaneous sessions.
- Configurable permissions. By default permission is asked for everything.
- It has command completion (thanks to synedit):
the / commands will be shown when you type the / at the start of the prompt.
- You can save the session.
- There is tight integration with the IDE itself: whenever the AI agent creates a file you can have it added to the active project, it will reload files that are modified.
- You can also define MCP servers from within the IDE.
There are quite some options that you can set, and more will come: I'm working on coupling an AI agent session to a project so that when you switch projects, the sessions associated with the project will be reloaded.
I am using it daily with Claude code meanwhile, so it is well tested - but tuned to my habits. Other experiences welcome.
If there are ideas for improvements, I'm all ears.
Michael.
