What I'd like: - Top-tier `git worktree`-based context switching in the same IDE window. - A framework for attaching terminal-based agents to each worktree branch. Eventually this should evolve into a better open protocol for integration, primarily for diffs, permission request notifications, and progress indicators. - A sidebar that monitors agent status/notifications on each active worktree branch. - A quick notification-style way of responding to agent prompts across all branches. This has been built in standalone agent manager tools, but I can't use those tools effectively when I need to quickly jump in and be an engineer. - Branch-context-level association with browser test windows or mobile emulator/simulator instances. - Strong code completion capabilities via other faster models, a great extension ecosystem with lots of language server support, and function as a high-quality IDE. Right now, I'm managing multiple macOS desktops with different instances of Windsurf running Claude agents in-terminal, and web browser windows / mobile emulators/simulators are dragged into the respective desktops for each instance. It's clunky.

> A quick notification-style way of responding to agent prompts across all branches. This has been built in standalone agent manager tools, but I can't use those tools effectively when I need to quickly jump in and be an engineer. I tried, unsuccessfully, to write a plugin for VSCode that would let Claude run a tool to jump me to the file and line it was editing. It sorta worked but kept hanging.

What I'd like - a coding agent with debugging capabilities. Walk the stack, inspect local variables and arguments, basically seeing what is really happening as opposed to debugging by prints and asserts.

  That could be interesting! And probably not all _that_ difficult to build, given the right interaction points and IDE APIs.
