Could you build this?
Partial Building an autonomous workspace agent that safely reads repos, computes/applies AST-aware code diffs, and orchestrates terminal execution requires complex sandbox orchestration beyond simple chat scripts.
What it would actually take: A viable tool requires a local client or VS Code extension interacting with a secure sandbox container for command execution, file system watching, and git operations. The backend requires advanced agentic loops (like ReAct or tree-of-thought), language server protocol (LSP) integration for semantic code navigation, and resilient patch/diff parsing algorithms. Realizing this needs deep systems programming, AST parsing, and security sandboxing expertise.
