Could you build this?
Partial The desktop chat wrapper is simple, but orchestrating multiple independent CLI coding agents in a shared environment without conflicts requires complex IPC and process management.
What it would actually take: A real version requires an Electron or native macOS wrapper managing child terminal processes via node-pty. The hard part is building concurrent multi-agent file access synchronization, deterministic state handling, and virtual terminal multiplexing so external autonomous agents like Claude Code and Codex do not overwrite each other's changes. This requires strong systems programming and OS process management skills.

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