# Coding Agent Adapters

> Reference for the band-sdk 6.0.1 adapters that drive a local coding agent per room, including ClaudeSDKAdapter, CodexAdapter, OpencodeAdapter, CopilotSDKAdapter, ACPClientAdapter and its presets, room workspaces, and the room retention gate.

These adapters run a coding agent, usually one local process per room, and serve Band's tools to it over MCP or the agent's own tool protocol. They share two mechanisms, room workspaces and room retention, described first. Every adapter follows the shared [adapter construction](/reference/sdk/features#adapter-construction) rules and takes the [feature keywords](/reference/sdk/features#adapter-features).

## Room Workspaces

`ClaudeSDKAdapter`, `CodexAdapter`, and the ACP client adapters (`ACPClientAdapter`, `CopilotACPAdapter`, `CursorACPAdapter`, `OmpACPAdapter`) give each room its own workspace directory. The workspace comes from `workspace_for_room(room_id)`, which must return an absolute path. Without a resolver, the SDK creates `.band-workspaces/<room_id>` under the process working directory.

```python
from band import create_room_workspace_resolver
from band.adapters import CodexAdapter, CodexAdapterConfig

adapter = CodexAdapter(
    CodexAdapterConfig(workspace_for_room=create_room_workspace_resolver("/srv/rooms")),
)
```

`create_room_workspace_resolver(root)` creates `<root>/<room_id>` on first use and rejects a room ID that would escape `root` with `ValueError: room id cannot escape the workspace root`. A resolver that returns a relative path raises `ValueError: workspace_for_room must return an absolute path` when a room is first resolved, and one that hands the same directory to two rooms raises `ValueError: workspace_for_room assigned '<path>' to both '<room>' and '<room>'`.

To keep the isolation guarantee, Codex and the ACP adapters reject transports that share one process across rooms:

| Adapter                  | Rejected input                | Error                                                                                                        |
| :----------------------- | :---------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `CodexAdapter`           | `cwd` in `CodexAdapterConfig` | `ValueError: cwd is not supported; use workspace_for_room or the default`                                    |
| `CodexAdapter`           | `transport="ws"`              | `ValueError: only stdio Codex transport guarantees room process isolation`                                   |
| `CodexAdapter`           | `client_factory`              | `ValueError: custom Codex clients cannot guarantee room process isolation`                                   |
| `ACPClientAdapterConfig` | `host` or `port`              | `ValidationError` (a `ValueError`): `Value error, TCP ACP transport cannot guarantee room process isolation` |
| `ACPClientAdapter`       | `spawn_process`               | `ValueError: custom ACP transports cannot guarantee room process isolation`                                  |

`ACPClientAdapterConfig` and its presets accept `cwd` as a root and turn it into one child directory per room. `ClaudeSDKAdapterConfig.cwd` is different: it names one existing directory that every room shares, which is the pre-5.0.0 behavior; omit it for isolated room workspaces. On both, setting `cwd` together with the adapter's `workspace_for_room` argument raises `ValueError: set either cwd or workspace_for_room, not both`.

## Room Retention

`ClaudeSDKAdapterConfig`, `CodexAdapterConfig`, and the ACP client configs carry a `retention: RoomRetentionConfig` field, from `band.core.retention.config`, with `idle_timeout_s: float | None = None` and `transition_timeout_s: float`. `idle_timeout_s` must be greater than `0` when set, and `transition_timeout_s` bounds how long a caller waits for one room acquisition or cleanup to report its result, after which the unfinished step stays owned for a retry. The config defaults `transition_timeout_s` to `60.0` for `ClaudeSDKAdapterConfig` and `CodexAdapterConfig`, and `30.0` for the ACP client configs; a bare `RoomRetentionConfig()` uses `10.0`. The field is the gate for an adapter-owned room retention lifecycle that no shipped adapter enables yet: as of `band-sdk` 6.0.1 every provider rejects a non-`None` `idle_timeout_s` at config construction, because none can prove that a disconnect would not cancel the agent's asynchronous work. The error names the provider, for example `Codex idle retention is unavailable: native idle and terminal state do not account for asynchronous hooks and delegated work; shutdown can cancel that work. Leave retention.idle_timeout_s unset.` Leave the field at its default.

## `ClaudeSDKAdapter`

Adapter for the Claude Agent SDK, with Band tools served to Claude Code over a room-bound MCP endpoint.

```python
from band.adapters import ClaudeApprovalOptions, ClaudeCLIOptions, ClaudeSDKAdapter, ClaudeSDKAdapterConfig

adapter = ClaudeSDKAdapter(
    config: ClaudeSDKAdapterConfig | None = None,
    *,
    history_converter: ClaudeSDKHistoryConverter | None = None,
    additional_tools: list[CustomToolDef] | None = None,
    workspace_for_room: WorkspaceResolver | None = None,
    **features: Unpack[FeatureKwargs],
)
```

An invalid combination raises `ValidationError` at config construction, for example `permission_mode='dontAsk' denies tool calls without consulting approvals; set approvals=None` or `approvals.wait_timeout_s must be less than turn_timeout_s, or the turn times out before the approval does`.

```python
from band.adapters import ClaudeApprovalOptions, ClaudeSDKAdapter, ClaudeSDKAdapterConfig

adapter = ClaudeSDKAdapter(
    ClaudeSDKAdapterConfig(
        permission_mode="default",
        approvals=ClaudeApprovalOptions(mode="manual"),
    ),
)
```

Emits `TOOL_CALLS`, `THOUGHTS`, and `USAGE`. See [Approval Mode](/connect/coding-agents#approval-mode) for the room approval flow and [Claude Agent SDK](/connect/claude-agent-sdk) for a worked example.

## `CodexAdapter`

Adapter for the OpenAI Codex app-server over JSON-RPC. It runs one stdio Codex process per room; see [Room Workspaces](#room-workspaces).

```python
from band.adapters import CodexAdapter, CodexAdapterConfig

adapter = CodexAdapter(
    config: CodexAdapterConfig | None = None,
    *,
    additional_tools: list[CustomToolDef] | None = None,
    history_converter: CodexHistoryConverter | None = None,
    client_factory: Callable[[CodexAdapterConfig], CodexClientProtocol] | None = None,
    **features: Unpack[FeatureKwargs],
)
```

`client_factory` must stay unset: any value raises `ValueError`. Room replies come only from Band tools: Codex's native assistant text is posted as `thought` telemetry when `Emit.THOUGHTS` is on and never counts as the reply, so a turn that answers only in native text reaches the missing-reply verdict described in [Turn Outcome](/reference/sdk/platform-tools#turn-outcome). Emits all four kinds.

### `CodexAdapterConfig`

`CodexAdapterConfig` has 44 fields and is a pydantic-settings model: every field can be set as a constructor argument or through a `CODEX_`-prefixed environment variable, and a constructor argument always wins. The table lists the most used; the full list is in [`codex.py` at band-sdk-v6.0.1](https://github.com/band-ai/band-sdk-python/blob/band-sdk-v6.0.1/src/band/adapters/codex.py).

`fallback_send_agent_text` and `assistant_text_mode` were removed in 5.0.0; passing either raises `ValidationError` (`Extra inputs are not permitted`), and `CODEX_FALLBACK_SEND_AGENT_TEXT` and `CODEX_ASSISTANT_TEXT_MODE` are no longer read. `CODEX_CWD` is ignored, because `cwd` is rejected. See [Codex](/connect/codex) for a worked example.

## `OpencodeAdapter`

Bridges each room to a session on an OpenCode HTTP server and serves Band tools to it over an in-process MCP server shared by all rooms.

```python
from band.adapters import OpencodeAdapter, OpencodeAdapterConfig

adapter = OpencodeAdapter(
    config: OpencodeAdapterConfig | None = None,
    *,
    additional_tools: list[CustomToolDef] | None = None,
    history_converter: OpencodeHistoryConverter | None = None,
    client_factory: Callable[[OpencodeAdapterConfig], OpencodeClientProtocol] | None = None,
    **features: Unpack[FeatureKwargs],
)
```

The adapter talks to one OpenCode server, `http://127.0.0.1:4096` by default, and creates one session per room. Emits `TOOL_CALLS`, `TASK_EVENTS`, and `USAGE`.

### `OpencodeAdapterConfig`

`OpencodeAdapterConfig` is a pydantic-settings model with the `OPENCODE_` environment prefix; a constructor argument always wins.

## `CopilotSDKAdapter`

Maps each room to a persistent GitHub Copilot SDK session. Copilot's built-in shell and file tools are disabled; the model sees Band tools and your `additional_tools`.

```python
from band.adapters import CopilotSDKAdapter, CopilotSDKAdapterConfig

adapter = CopilotSDKAdapter(
    config: CopilotSDKAdapterConfig | None = None,
    *,
    history_converter: HistoryConverter[CopilotSDKSessionState] | None = None,
    additional_tools: list[CustomToolDef] | None = None,
    client: Any | None = None,
    client_factory: Callable[[], Any] | None = None,
    provider: ProviderConfig | None = None,
    ask_user: UserInputHandler | Literal["room"] | None = None,
    **features: Unpack[FeatureKwargs],
)
```

| `provider`       | `ProviderConfig \| None`             | `None`  | Bring-your-own-key model provider, such as `ProviderConfig(type="openai", base_url=..., api_key=...)`. `config.model` then names the provider's model                                                                                  |
| `ask_user`       | `UserInputHandler \| "room" \| None` | `None`  | Where Copilot's questions to the user go. `None` keeps Copilot's `ask_user` tool disabled; `"room"` posts the question to the room; a callable answers on behalf of someone outside the room. Any other value raises `BandConfigError` |

Emits `TOOL_CALLS`, `THOUGHTS`, and `USAGE`. The adapter still posts the model's final text as the reply when no Band tool replied. See [GitHub Copilot](/connect/github-copilot) for a worked example.

## `ACPClientAdapter`

Bridges each room to an external ACP agent process, one stdio subprocess per room.

```python
from band.adapters import ACPClientAdapter, ACPClientAdapterConfig

    config: ACPClientAdapterConfig,
    *,
    additional_tools: list[CustomToolDef] | None = None,
    workspace_for_room: WorkspaceResolver | None = None,
    profile: ACPClientProfile | None = None,
    resolve_session_config: SessionConfigResolver | None = None,
    resolve_permission: PermissionResolver | None = None,
    client_capabilities: ClientCapabilities | None = None,
    spawn_process: SpawnProcess | None = None,
    **features: Unpack[FeatureKwargs],
)

`host` and `port` in the config and `spawn_process` in the constructor raise `ValueError` when set; see [Room Workspaces](#room-workspaces). With `emit` unset, the adapter posts thoughts, tool calls, and plan updates from the ACP session-update stream into the room; see [What Each Adapter Supports](/reference/sdk/features#what-each-adapter-supports). Room replies come only from Band tools: native agent text is thought telemetry, and a turn that ends without a `band_send_message` or `band_no_reply` call reaches the missing-reply verdict in [Turn Outcome](/reference/sdk/platform-tools#turn-outcome). The retired `assistant_text_mode` field raises `Extra inputs are not permitted`.

See [ACP Client Adapter](/integrate/acp/client) for a worked example.

## ACP Presets

`CopilotACPAdapter`, `CursorACPAdapter`, and `OmpACPAdapter` are `ACPClientAdapter` presets for one runtime each. Their configs subclass `ACPClientAdapterConfig` and add the runtime's own settings.

```python
from band.adapters import (
    CopilotACPAdapter,
    CopilotACPAdapterConfig,
    CursorACPAdapter,
    CursorACPAdapterConfig,
    OmpACPAdapter,
    OmpACPAdapterConfig,
)

CopilotACPAdapter(config: CopilotACPAdapterConfig | None = None, *, additional_tools: list[CustomToolDef] | None = None, workspace_for_room: WorkspaceResolver | None = None, resolve_session_config: SessionConfigResolver | None = None, resolve_permission: PermissionResolver | None = None, **features)
CursorACPAdapter(config: CursorACPAdapterConfig | None = None, *, additional_tools: list[CustomToolDef] | None = None, workspace_for_room: WorkspaceResolver | None = None, resolve_session_config: SessionConfigResolver | None = None, **features)
OmpACPAdapter(config: OmpACPAdapterConfig | None = None, *, additional_tools: list[CustomToolDef] | None = None, workspace_for_room: WorkspaceResolver | None = None, resolve_session_config: SessionConfigResolver | None = None, resolve_permission: PermissionResolver | None = None, spawn_process: SpawnProcess | None = None, **features)

Band's own tools are pre-approved | `api_key` sets `CURSOR_API_KEY`, `auth_token` sets `CURSOR_AUTH_TOKEN`; both together raise `set either api_key or auth_token, not both`. `auth_method` accepts `"cursor_login"`                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| `OmpACPAdapter`     | `("omp", "acp", "--approval-mode", "always-ask")` | `approval_mode` is `"always-ask"` (default) or `"yolo"`, which gives the agent full access to its host, and the adapter appends `--approval-mode <approval_mode>`. `command` may not carry `--yolo`, `--auto-approve`, or `--approval-mode write` or `yolo` (`Unsafe OMP flag '<flag>' is not allowed`). `resolve_permission` handles tool calls and OMP approval forms. `use_unstable_protocol` is fixed to `True`                                                                               | `model` is a provider-qualified OMP model, such as `"openai/gpt-5.4-mini"`, passed as `--model` rather than selected from the session catalog. `api_key` goes in that provider's environment variable and requires `model` (`api_key needs model: the provider-qualified model picks which provider key env var carries the key`); an `env` entry for the variable wins. Other credentials pass through `env` |

Every preset config inherits `env`, `cwd`, `mcp_servers`, `inject_band_tools`, `custom_section`, `turn_timeout_s`, `turn_settle_timeout_s`, `model`, `reasoning_effort`, and `retention` from `ACPClientAdapterConfig`. `workspace_for_room` and `resolve_session_config` are adapter arguments.
