Book overview
A developer’s guide to building, testing, and supervising software agents. Work through bounded tasks, tool permissions, evaluation, debugging, and a practical capstone. A substantial technical guide for readers who already understand basic programming.
Themes & audience
Agentic coding & software development
Developers who already understand programming and want a structured approach to building and supervising coding agents.
Put the ideas into practice
Choose a small repository task, write its acceptance criteria, and identify the evidence that would show it is complete. Work through the examples in an isolated environment before allowing an agent to touch production systems. Treat the capstone as a project to inspect, test, and adapt.
