Could you build this?
Partial While an agentic coding UI with LLM context management can be vibe-coded, managing persistent multi-repo contexts, sandboxed code execution, and low-latency plugin tool execution requires non-trivial infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a sandboxed microVM execution backend (such as Firecracker or Docker on Fly.io/Modal), efficient AST parsing and vector embeddings across large repos, and MCP protocol integration. The hardest part is state synchronization across long-running autonomous agent sessions and secure, isolated execution environments.
