Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping LLM APIs with tool-calling for local file edits is achievable, creating a reliable, autonomous agent environment (handling terminal execution, git state, diffs, and sandboxing) requires complex system-level execution handling.
What it would actually take: A real implementation needs an Electron/Tauri frontend hooked to a local daemon in Node.js or Rust that manages file watchers, PTY process spawning, AST-based code editing or robust diff generation, and agentic loop orchestration (similar to Aider or Continue). The hardest part is prompt engineering reliable multi-file context tracking and handling terminal failure/recovery loops without corrupting local repositories.
