Editor integration

The Condukt CLI can run as a headless coding agent behind an editor that supports the Agent Client Protocol.

Connect your provider first#

Authenticate before the editor starts Condukt:

bash
condukt connect openrouter --api-key <key>

You can also run condukt, open /connect, and complete interactive sign-in once.

Start the protocol server#

Configure the editor to start:

bash
condukt acp

The editor launches the process and communicates through standard input and output. It supplies the workspace root used by Condukt's file and shell tools.

Understand the authority boundary#

The editor presents the conversation, but the Condukt process still owns its local workspace tools. Start it only for projects where those capabilities are appropriate.

See providers and credentials for credential storage and unattended environments. See the command-line reference for the exact command.
