//! # agent-client-protocol -- the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) SDK
//!
//! **agent-client-protocol** is a Rust SDK for building [Agent-Client Protocol (ACP)][acp] applications.
//! ACP is a protocol for communication between AI agents and their clients (IDEs, CLIs, etc.),
//! enabling features like tool use, permission requests, and streaming responses.
//!
//! [acp]: https://agentclientprotocol.com/
//!
//! ## What can you build with agent-client-protocol?
//!
//! - **Clients** that talk to ACP agents (like building your own Claude Code interface)
//! - **Proxies** that add capabilities to existing agents (like adding custom tools via MCP)
//! - **Agents** that respond to prompts with AI-powered responses
//!
//! ## Quick Start: Connecting to an Agent
//!
//! The most common use case is connecting to an existing ACP agent as a client.
//! Here's a minimal example that initializes a connection, creates a session,
//! and sends a prompt:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use agent_client_protocol::Client;
//! use agent_client_protocol::schema::{InitializeRequest, ProtocolVersion};
//!
//! # async fn run(transport: impl agent_client_protocol::ConnectTo<agent_client_protocol::Client>) -> agent_client_protocol::Result<()> {
//! Client.builder()
//!     .name("my-client")
//!     .connect_with(transport, async |cx| {
//!         // Step 1: Initialize the connection
//!         cx.send_request(InitializeRequest::new(ProtocolVersion::V1))
//!             .block_task().await?;
//!
//!         // Step 2: Create a session and send a prompt
//!         cx.build_session_cwd()?
//!             .block_task()
//!             .run_until(async |mut session| {
//!                 session.send_prompt("What is 2 + 2?")?;
//!                 let response = session.read_to_string().await?;
//!                 println!("{}", response);
//!                 Ok(())
//!             })
//!             .await
//!     })
//!     .await
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! For a complete working example, see [`yolo_one_shot_client.rs`][yolo].

//!
//! ## Cookbook
//!
//! The [`agent_client_protocol_cookbook`] crate contains practical guides and examples:
//!
//! - Connecting as a client
//! - Global MCP server
//! - Per-session MCP server with workspace context
//! - Building agents and reusable components
//! - Running proxies with the conductor
//!
//! [`agent_client_protocol_cookbook`]: https://docs.rs/agent-client-protocol-cookbook
//!
//! ## Core Concepts
//!
//! The [`concepts`] module provides detailed explanations of how agent-client-protocol works,
//! including connections, sessions, callbacks, ordering guarantees, and more.
//!
//! ## Related Crates
