ACP Agent Cross-IDE Enterprise Compatibility Framework
One-Liner
A framework helping enterprise engineering teams manage AI agent compatibility across JetBrains, VS Code, Neovim, and Cursor as ACP (Agent Client Protocol) fragmentation creates cross-IDE integration headaches.
AI Thinking Process
ACP (Agent Client Protocol) from JetBrains + Zed emerging as open standard. Enterprise dev teams struggle with cross-IDE AI agent compatibility. DUPLICATE AVOIDED: 2 versions already COLD in history. Direction skipped.
Kill Reason
Historical duplicate: 'ACP Agent Cross-IDE Testing Framework' and 'ACP Agent Cross-Platform Provenance Chain' both exist as COLD ideas in history. All ACP-specific ideas have been killed for being too early (standard not mature) or too narrow (IDE market controlled by JetBrains and Microsoft).

killed: Historical duplicate of two prior ideas already evaluated and killed as COLD: (1) 'Enterprise MCP Agent Integration Reliability Testing' (COLD, March 20 2026) — same customer, same problem, same approach; (2) 'ACP Agent Cross-IDE Testing Framework' (COLD, March 28 2026) — same concept. The market-is-too-early kill identified in Pass 1 (38% conviction, lowest of all survivors) aligns with why both historical versions were killed.
killed: ACP explicitly states it re-uses JSON representations from MCP where possible. ACP documentation confirms agents using ACP can connect to MCP servers natively. The protocols were designed with interoperability in mind — the interoperability problem is already solved by protocol design, not requiring middleware.
killed: Open-source middleware (HAMi) already provides heterogeneous AI computing virtualization for free. Proprietary play is squeezed between free open-source and vertically integrated hardware vendor ecosystem.
