Could you build this?
Partial Building a terminal UI wrapper is easy, but maintaining seamless real-time PTY interception, terminal emulation state parsing across SSH sessions, and low-latency interaction requires systems-level programming.
What it would actually take: The product requires a systems language (Rust or Go) interfacing directly with pseudo-terminals (pty/termios) to passively monitor and parse ANSI escape sequences, stdin/stdout streams, and shell states across local and SSH sessions without introducing input lag or corrupting the display. The challenging aspect is robust TUI interception, shell hook synchronization, and managing background LLM streaming into the active terminal buffer.
