Could you build this?
Partial A basic CLI or GUI agent that calls LLMs to edit files is vibe-codeable, but creating an autonomous coding agent capable of reliable multi-file reasoning, linting loops, and terminal execution requires substantial agentic architecture tuning.
What it would actually take: The system requires an AST parser (like Tree-sitter) for syntactic indexing, language server protocol (LSP) integrations for diagnostics, and a sandboxed execution environment (Docker/containerized microVMs) to safely run test suites and code modifications in iterative agent loops.

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