Simon Willison has developed a new Python library, llm-coding-agent, which functions as an agent framework for AI-powered coding tasks. The agent, built using the "llm" library and powered by GPT-5.5, can generate project specifications, write code through red/green TDD, and manage files and commands. It includes tools for editing, executing, listing, reading, searching, and writing files, and can be invoked via the command line or a Python API. Willison has released a "slop-alpha" version to PyPI for public testing. AI
IMPACT This tool could streamline AI-assisted software development workflows.
