Summary

This series offers a comprehensive guide for software engineers building production-ready AI coding assistants. It details practical engineering patterns, architectural choices, and scaling strategies, drawing from real-world systems like Claude Code and Amp, to transition from local tools to enterprise platforms.

How It Works

The core approach emphasizes practical engineering patterns for AI coding assistants. Key elements include reactive terminal UIs with streaming responses, robust tool systems incorporating permission models, and strategies for parallel execution. The series also covers scaling these systems for collaborative platforms, addressing enterprise authentication, team workflows, and real-time synchronization.

Quick Start & Requirements

Content is accessible online at gerred.github.io/building-an-agentic-system. The README does not specify installation commands or non-default prerequisites for building agentic systems, as it serves as a reference guide.

Highlighted Details

• Provides practical engineering patterns based on analysis of production systems like Claude Code and Amp.
• Covers both foundational architecture for AI coding assistants and advanced scaling for enterprise collaborative platforms.
• Details reactive terminal UIs with streaming responses and sophisticated tool systems with permission models.

Maintenance & Community
