What you are suggesting might sound difficult to some people, it is possible: in the last week I co-wrote (with Antigravity with Claude as the backend) an Emacs package for agentic coding that also just uses ‘rg’ for finding relevant code for the context, call out to a model, and handle creating a diff with merging tools. I love using my own code that provides inside Emacs vibe coding and I would suggest others try building the same thing.

EDIT: here is a link of what I wrote just for my own use: https://github.com/mark-watson/coding-agent

Exactly! The actual base loop of these agents is remarkably simple.

https://github.com/girvo/girvent this is my silly one :)
