Could you build this?
Partial Basic agentic coding loops and shell execution UIs are easy to vibe code, but an effective Devin alternative requires complex local agent sandboxing, robust LSP integration, and dynamic multi-file AST context management.
What it would actually take: The architecture relies on a local runner interacting with Docker or local processes, communicating with language models via structured tool calls, combined with Language Server Protocol (LSP) clients for precise code navigation. The difficult aspects are preventing hallucinated edits across large repositories, managing multi-step error-recovery loops, and ensuring secure code execution on the host system.

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