+"""Example: Using ACPAgent with Claude Code ACP server.
+
+This example shows how to use an ACP-compatible server (claude-code-acp)
+as the agent backend instead of direct LLM calls.
+
+Prerequisites:
+    - Node.js / npx available
+    - Claude Code CLI authenticated (or CLAUDE_API_KEY set)
+
+Usage:
+    uv run python examples/01_standalone_sdk/40_acp_agent_example.py
