Description
An open-source terminal coding agent that asks before guessing, respects your scope, remembers your preferences, and tells you honestly what it did—and didn’t—verify. Explicit scope. Deny-first permissions. Steerable turns. Bring your model to a terminal coding agent that listens before it acts.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic CLI tool calling LLM APIs is easy, but building a robust, production-grade autonomous agent CLI that handles state machines, diff validation, asynchronous steering interrupts, and sandboxed terminal execution exceeds casual vibe coding.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a Node.js/TypeScript CLI with rigorous process management (PTY emulation or shell execution wrappers), an event loop managing concurrent input streams for mid-flight prompt steering, and deterministic state tracking for file-tree scopes and dry-run AST diffs. The primary difficulty lies in robust agent orchestration, prompt state management across interactive turns, and safe process isolation without race conditions.

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