Coding with Agents: Intro
Coding with Agents is a practical book about using coding agents as part of real software work: planning changes, reading unfamiliar repositories, implementing safely, testing, reviewing, and shipping.
The book is written for engineers who want agent-assisted development to feel less like a prompt trick and more like a repeatable working system. It focuses on the operating habits around agents: how to scope tasks, how to keep context clean, how to verify output, and how to decide when human judgment should take over.
Use this intro as the short entry point. The full book lives here:
I will use future posts in this topic cluster for shorter notes that do not need to become book chapters: examples, workflow refinements, tool notes, and lessons from applying agentic engineering to live codebases.
