I put off adopting popular agents for most of 2025 primarily because there was no agent-agnostic path to first-class Emacs integration. That changed with ACP (https://agentclientprotocol.com), thus I started working on agent-shell.

I'm happy with how the integration is shaping up, enabling me to have my cake and eat it too (Emacs + AI agents).

I wrote an agent-shell post recently with the latest changes https://xenodium.com/agent-shell-0-47-1-updates

You have Every right to plug your agentshell here. I love it and I don't even care that much for agents (yet)

I agree, agentshell is a nice way to chat with LLMs. Well worth setting up. Emacs eye candy.

That's nice to hear. Thank you!

I tried it and was underwhelmed. Without /resume or /rewind, it's unusable. After Opencode botched a simple yes/no (yesterday's top HN story), I'm convinced the frontier model companies will continue expanding the usability gap between their proprietary harnesses and the open-source ones.

Resume is supported by agent-shell, but is dependent on agent's to implement the relevant ACP. Do you know if OpenCode's ACP implementation has listing and resuming session support?

Also, you'll need to enable resuming as per post (it's a new feature) https://xenodium.com/agent-shell-0-47-1-updates
