LLM coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) have structural weaknesses: blind retry loops, volatile learning, silent
spec drift, and gate gaming. These aren't bugs in specific models — they're properties of goal-optimizing systems. ANDON applies Toyota Production System principles to address this:
- Jidoka (autonomation): auto-detect failures and block forward-progress commands (git push, deploy)
- Kaizen (continuous improvement): force Five Whys root cause analysis, then standardize prevention rules
- Meta-ANDON: detect when the agent is stuck in a whack-a-mole debugging loop
Install: pip install andon-for-llm-agents
Works with any agent that supports hooks/callbacks. Apache-2.0 licensed.
