How it fires
How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Rules
- treat remote shell construction as security-sensitive
- use shared escaping and validation helpers
- do not bypass path-safety or shell validation helpers
- verify how a change affects both connection setup and command execution
Emdash is the Open-Source Agentic Development Environment (🧡 YC W26). Run multiple coding agents in parallel. Use any provider.

- acp-runtime
The ACP runtime is the domain service that serves the ACP API contract. It owns the host-scoped dependencies needed to run provider ACP sessions, but it should not mix cross-session routing with per-session state projection.
Open agent - main-process
The main process is organized into domain modules under `src/main/core/`. Each domain typically has a `controller.ts` (RPC handlers) and service/implementation files.

Open agent - shared
- Agent/provider DTOs: - `src/shared/core/agents/agent-payload.ts` - provider metadata and capabilities are sourced from `packages/plugins/src/agents/registry.ts` - IPC primitives: - `src/shared/ipc/rpc.ts` — typed RPC router, controller, and client - `src/shared/ipc/events.ts`
Open agent - workspace-server
The Workspace Server (`apps/workspace-server/`) is a Node daemon that runs on a remote machine and exposes workspace runtimes (git, files, deps, ACP, …) to Emdash clients over the `@emdash/wire` protocol. Clients connect over an SSH-forwarded Unix socket; the daemon is
