Show HN: P2P (POC) of the ACP for decentralized agent communication

A developer released a peer-to-peer implementation of the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) for decentralized agent communication, built with libp2p and Rust. The open-source tool enables agents to discover each other, route messages by capability tags, and broadcast queries across a mesh network without a central server.

a peer-to-peer implementation of the Agent Client Protocol ACP for decentralized agent communication. clone the repository git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/skorotkiewicz/acp-p2p cd acp-p2p build with ACP features enabled cargo build --release --features acp or just build-all run the agent ./target/release/agent --alias alice --caps rust,math examples connect to a specific peer at startup just run --peer /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/12345/p2p/<peer-id --alias alice generate ephemeral identity don't persist to file just run --ephemeral --alias test disable mDNS discovery just run --no-mdns --alias isolated custom listen address just run --listen /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/9000 the agent is configured via command-line arguments: --alias <name - human-readable alias for this agent --caps <list - comma-separated capability tags e.g. rust,math,python --peer <multiaddr - peer multiaddr to connect to at startup --ephemeral - generate a new in-memory identity don't persist --no-mdns - disable automatic peer discovery --listen <multiaddr - custom listen address can be repeated once running, the agent accepts interactive commands: ask <question - broadcast a question to all peers ask --caps rust,math <question - ask agents with specific capabilities ask @rust,math <question - short form for capability routing acp <method <json-params - broadcast ACP JSON-RPC payload requires acp feature dial <multiaddr - manually connect to a peer peers - list known peers quit - exit the mesh features - peer-to-peer networking using libp2p - agent client protocol ACP implementation - support for gossipsub messaging - automatic peer discovery via mDNS - async runtime with Tokio - command-line interface with clap contributions are welcome please feel free to submit a pull request.
