The AI Agent Engineer's Guide: 60 Patterns for Building Autonomous Systems

SMRTR summary

This book reframes AI agent engineering around eight core capabilities — perception, reasoning, planning, memory, tool use, coordination, learning, and alignment — rather than industry verticals. It catalogs 60 named architectural patterns, each with code skeletons, failure modes, trade-offs, and case studies. The argument: capability literacy generalizes across domains, while domain-specific templates leave engineers constantly reinventing the same architectures.
