The Agentic Systems Series

A comprehensive guide to building production-ready AI coding assistants, from local tools to enterprise platforms.

Overview

This two-book series provides practical engineering patterns for building AI coding assistants based on analysis of real production systems including Claude Code, Amp, and open-source implementations.

Book 1: Building an Agentic System

• Core architecture patterns for AI coding assistants
• Reactive terminal UIs with streaming responses
• Tool systems and permission models
• Parallel execution strategies

Book 2: Amping Up an Agentic System

• Scaling from single-user to collaborative platforms
• Enterprise authentication and team workflows
• Real-time synchronization patterns
• Production deployment strategies

For Engineers

Written for software engineers building AI-powered development tools, with focus on:

• Practical patterns over theory
• Real architectural decisions
• Production-ready implementations
