Loop Engineering: The Practical Guide to Building AI Agents That Work While You Sleep.
**Stop prompting your AI agents. Start engineering the loops that run them.** The best engineers and teams no longer feed prompts to AI turn by turn — they design **loops**: autonomous systems that discover work, execute it, verify it against real standards, remember what happened, and run on a schedule while nobody watches. In the morning, a human reviews pull requests and reports — not chat transcripts. **Loop Engineering** is the first comprehensive guide to that discipline: part textbook, part hands-on user's manual for the Claude toolkit — Claude Code, /goal, routines, subagents, hooks, skills, dynamic workflows, and the Agent SDK — with principles that transfer to any agent platform. **What you get:** ✅ 18 chapters + 5 appendices — ~345 pages / 50,000+ words ✅ 4 complete end-to-end builds: self-healing CI loop, backlog-burning feature loop, competitive-intelligence digest, long-horizon project campaign — prompts, configs, rehearsal plans, and a real failure diagnosed and fixed in each ✅ The 6 orchestration patterns, the pipeline-vs-swarm coupling test, and the verification architecture that makes autonomy trustworthy ✅ The hidden-cost playbook: verification debt, comprehension rot, cognitive surrender, token blowout — with the 12-number operating dashboard ✅ Security & governance: prompt-injection defense, least privilege, irreversibility gates, charters, and post-mortems ✅ Learning objectives, key takeaways, and review questions in every chapter — built for self-study and team training ✅ **Three formats included:** print-styled PDF (page-numbered TOC), EPUB for e-readers, and editable DOCX **Who it's for:** developers adopting Claude Code and agentic workflows · technical PMs and founders who must scope, budget, and govern AI agents · operators automating recurring knowledge work (no terminal required for the concepts, patterns, or governance). *Your agents are capable. This book makes them dependable.* 💡 **Best value:** grab the book + the complete Loop Engineering Toolkit together and save — see the bundle below. ---
