Built this out because I wasn’t happy with conductor, orca, or the other vscode derivative platforms. Please let me know if you guys have any feedback for me

Could you build this?
Partial The workflow UI, multi-agent orchestration and trace views are vibe-codeable by wrapping model APIs, but an IDE-grade harness with reliable cross-agent memory and robust tooling needs deeper engineering than prompting alone usually produces.
What it would actually take: Expect a desktop shell (Electron or Tauri) with an editor component, a pluggable adapter layer for each coding agent's CLI or API, and a trace store (SQLite or similar) to record runs. The hard parts are reliable process control and sandboxing of agents, a memory layer that stays consistent across different models, and keeping the harness stable as upstream agent tools change. This is achievable by a strong solo engineer, but it is more than a weekend of prompting.
