Design Patterns for AI Agents

Elements of Reusable Human Organization for AI Agents

James Harmon

Paperback · Kindle · EPUB · First Edition

Software used to be built by lone programs following fixed instructions. Now it is built by teams of AI agents that plan, delegate, argue, and revise. Design Patterns for AI Agents is a working catalog of thirty patterns for organizing those teams, each one drawn from a structure humans have used for centuries: the assembly line, the chain of command, the jury, the writers’ room, the fire brigade. It gives architects and engineering leaders a shared vocabulary for designing agent systems that are reliable, economical, and easy to reason about.

Forthcoming. Write to publishing@xoself.com to hear when it lands.
