Kaizen Agentic
AI agent development framework embracing continuous improvement through specialized agents and comprehensive development workflows.
This project embraces the Japanese concept of "kaizen" (continuous improvement) applied to AI agent development. Every coding subagent becomes part of an optimization loop where performance is measured, patterns are analyzed, and specifications are refined over time.

Known Issues
Click Library Workaround
The CLI currently implements a workaround for spurious error messages in the Click library. This affects the install command but is transparent to users. See CLICK_WORKAROUND.md for technical details and removal timeline.
User Impact: None - the workaround provides clean CLI output Status: Monitoring Click library updates for resolution
