About this title

Synopsis

Master Claude Code as an agentic coding and engineering platform for building governed AI workflows, autonomous agents, developer tooling, and enterprise-ready automation through practical patterns and deployment strategies

Key Features

Deploy AI-assisted development workflows securely across teams and production pipelines
Understand Claude Code’s architecture, memory design, orchestration models, and execution flow
Create reusable AI capabilities using Skills, Hooks, and MCP servers across your development workflows

Book Description

Claude Code is evolving from a coding assistant into a programmable platform for building intelligent development workflows. As teams adopt AI-assisted development, the challenge is no longer just generating code but building reliable systems that can be extended, governed, and integrated into daily work. This book shows how to turn Claude Code into a structured development platform.

You will learn to add persistent project context, create reusable capabilities, coordinate agents, automate routine checks, and connect Claude Code with the tools behind modern delivery. Drawing on concrete engineering examples, the book covers scalable workflows for individual projects, teams, and enterprise environments. You will discover ways to improve consistency, enforce standards, manage risks, and keep control as AI becomes part of the development lifecycle.

Through hands-on examples, you will build extensible workflows, integrate external systems, automate governance, and support continuous delivery. The book also covers security, debugging, cost management, and adoption strategies that help teams move from experimentation to production use. By the end, you will be able to design and manage Claude Code-powered environments that improve productivity while supporting quality, reliability, and maintainability.

What you will learn

Analyze Claude Code's layered architecture and execution model
Coordinate specialized agents for complex app development tasks
Design persistent project intelligence using memory systems
Develop reusable capabilities through structured Skills
Automate quality and governance with event-driven Hooks
Integrate external databases and services using MCP standards
Build programmable workflows with the Agent SDK
Apply enterprise deployment patterns for secure, scalable AI adoption

Who this book is for

This book is for full-stack developers, software engineers, DevOps practitioners, technical architects, engineering managers, and AI enthusiasts who want to integrate Claude Code into modern software delivery processes. Readers should have basic programming knowledge and familiarity with development tools. Whether you are exploring AI-assisted development for personal productivity or implementing organization-wide automation, this book provides the architectural understanding and practical guidance needed to build governed, efficient, and extensible AI-powered development workflows.

About the Author

Jia Huang is an AI researcher at A*STAR, Singapore, and a technical author who writes about how AI agents are engineered. He is the author of Designing AI Agents and RAG from First Principles. He proposed the dual-axis framework for agent design patterns, which classifies patterns by cognitive function and execution topology, and the Pattern Selection Card, a practical method for choosing patterns under real cost and latency constraints. His work focuses on the engineering that surrounds the model rather than the model itself: context, tools, execution environments, and governance. He writes in both Chinese and English.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
