Could you build this?
Partial A high-performance autonomous terminal coding agent built in Rust requires deep systems programming, robust AST parsing/manipulation, complex context management, and sandboxed process execution.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires a Rust codebase leveraging tree-sitter for multi-language AST parsing, robust IPC/PTY handling for command execution, and custom context window compaction strategies across 50+ LLM provider APIs. The hard part is building reliable tool-use loops that handle diff application without hallucinating or clobbering uncommitted git state across large multi-file repositories. This demands experienced systems programmers with expertise in developer tooling and compiler/language-server protocols.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
