Description
When cloning a repo, we kept hitting the same wall: no Dockerfile, no dev container, no clear path to running it. Asking an agent to fix it directly on your system is risky, as it can clear Docker config, change kernel settings, downgrade packages without warning.Keystone runs the agent inside a Modal sandbox with its own Docker daemon. It iterates until tests pass, then hands you a .devcontainer/ you can just check in. Now your repo knows how to run itself!

Could you build this?
Partial The agent harness and prompt loop are straightforward to vibe-code, but safe dynamic containerization and autonomous environment diagnosis across diverse tech stacks require deep systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires integrating an LLM agent with an isolated microVM or container runtime (like Modal, Firecracker, or Docker sandboxes) via an automated command execution and state-inspection daemon. The hardest part is heuristic environment detection, resolving dependency graph conflicts, parsing varied compiler/runtime error logs, and preventing system escapes. It requires expertise in Linux internals, system virtualization, and automated dev-environment orchestration.

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