Building an Agentic System

A deep-dive guide into architecture patterns for building responsive, reliable AI coding agents.

About This Book

This guide explores practical architecture patterns for real-time AI coding assistants, derived from an analysis of Claude Code, anon-kode, and other systems. It focuses on:

  • Responsive user interfaces with streaming responses
  • Parallel tool execution for performance
  • Permission systems for safety
  • Extensible tool architecture

Written for software engineers building their own AI agents who want practical architecture patterns rather than theoretical discussions.
