Could you build this?
Partial A standard terminal wrapper can be vibe-coded, but collaborative multi-user terminal multiplexing with real-time AI intervention and secure SSH tunneling involves non-trivial systems programming.
What it would actually take: Building a real version requires custom PTY (pseudoterminal) multiplexing, robust low-latency operational transformation or CRDTs for multi-cursor shell sharing, and an SSH proxy daemon written in Go or Rust. The hard parts include handling terminal escape codes, ANSI rendering inconsistencies across different shells, and secure session management without leaking shell secrets or credentials to LLMs. Deep systems-level networking and Unix PTY management expertise are essential.
