Elevator pitch

What are you proposing to change?

Bring the Symposium project into the ACP organization. Built on ACP's proxy architecture, Symposium enables library ecosystems where packages come with their own agent integration, creating extensible agents that users can customize with domain-specific capabilities. Symposium currently focuses on Rust, but the vision applies to any language ecosystem. It will expand to other languages over time.

Symposium currently consists of two things:

  1. An ACP proxy for Rust development. It orchestrates specialized sub-proxies and is expected to evolve to intelligently select them based on current dependencies, user chat contents, and other factors. The proxy can be used from any ACP-supported editor.
  2. A VSCode extension (available on the VSCode and OpenVSIX marketplaces) that provides a generic ACP front-end, allowing users to easily experiment with Symposium using any ACP agent found on the ACP registry.

Proposes upstreaming the Symposium project into the ACP org. Symposium
enables self-integrating library ecosystems where packages come with
their own agent integration via ACP proxies.

Key points:
- Symposium pioneered ACP proxies (RFD 243 proposes standardizing them)
- Includes Rust proxy orchestrator and VSCode extension
- Will serve as testbed for future ACP extensions (GUI components,
  multi-agent workflows, WebAssembly proxies)
- Vision extends to self-integrating libraries and composable agents
