deadends.dev

Stop AI agents from repeating known failures - in code AND in the real world.

AI assistants reliably fumble two kinds of problems: known-failed code fixes, and country-specific real-world rules they've never been exposed to in training. deadends.dev now covers both:

Code errors (2,089 entries, 51 domains): what NOT to try when an agent hits ModuleNotFoundError, CUDA OOM, CrashLoopBackOff, etc.
Country-scoped dead ends (250+ entries across 52 countries): visa rules (ETA/eVisitor, NZeTA, e-visas, arrival cards), banking requirements, legal red lines (lèse-majesté, §86a, Article 301), cultural taboos (chopsticks in rice, clock gifts in China, red-ink names in Korea), food safety (tap-water safety by country), emergency numbers, driving norms (left-hand traffic), housing contracts - all the friction where a plausible-sounding global answer is wrong locally.

Why the expansion? Coding dead ends are largely solved by a good LLM. Country-specific friction - Japanese hanko requirements, Schengen 90/180 math, Ramadan business hours, Saudi alcohol ban, Indian beef taboos - is where generic AI advice breaks hardest. The codebase and schema are identical; the env segment just carries a country code.

Website: deadends.dev · MCP Server: Smithery · PyPI: deadends-dev · API: /api/v1/index.json Repository: https://github.com/dbwls99706/deadends.dev

Why Use This?

Without deadends.dev	With deadends.dev
Agent tries `sudo pip install` → breaks system Python → wastes 3 retries	Agent sees "dead end: sudo pip - fails 70%" → skips it immediately
Agent tells user to tip 15% at a Tokyo restaurant	Agent knows tipping is refused in Japan (`culture/tipping-refused/jp`)
Agent drafts a Thai social post referencing King Rama X	Agent stops: Article 112 lèse-majesté risk (`legal/lese-majeste-article-112/th`)
Agent fixes error A, gets confused by error B	Agent knows "A leads to B 78% of the time" → handles both
Agent tells unmarried couple to kiss publicly in Dubai	Agent flags UAE public decency law (`legal/unmarried-public-affection/ae`)

What makes this different from asking an LLM?

Deterministic: Same query → same answer, every time. No hallucination.
Country-scoped: ID format {domain}/{slug}/{env} - env holds the country code (kr, jp, us, de...) so the same taboo can be answered differently for different jurisdictions.
Primary-sourced: Every country canon cites government sites, embassies, or verifiable reporting. No "based on general knowledge" answers.
Community-validated: Fix success rates updated from real outcome reports.
Sub-millisecond: Local regex matching, no API roundtrip.
