Could you build this?
Partial While the LLM orchestration and chat interfaces are standard, writing a stable, native plugin for the JetBrains ecosystem using the IntelliJ SDK involves strict threading and memory constraints.
What it would actually take: The plugin must be written in Kotlin using the IntelliJ Platform SDK, interacting directly with JetBrains' Virtual File System (VFS), Program Structure Interface (PSI), and background thread schedulers. It requires a local Git orchestration layer to manage parallel worktrees without corrupting the developer's working directory or index. Deep IntelliJ API expertise is necessary to handle cross-IDE compatibility, gutter icons, inline diff rendering, and headless remote development instances.
