Takes any software (GIMP, Blender, LibreOffice, OBS, any application) and automatically generates a full CLI harness that agents can use to control it. The generated CLI has:
This is a heavy build task. Always spawn an ACP session — never run inline.
sessions_spawn({

runtime: "acp",
agentId: "claude",
mode: "session",
thread: true,
cwd: "/path/to/software"
})
