Bridge the gap between AI hype and software reality by learning how to evaluate agents, redesign team responsibilities, and introduce structured controls that improve delivery without sacrificing clarity, safety, or maintainability.
Key Features
- Use RACM to match AI capabilities to SDLC tasks and supervision needs
- Apply Execution Plans and Logbooks to make agent work visible and auditable
- Set autonomy limits, guardrails, and review practices for safer adoption
Book Description
Code Revealed is a practical guide for teams learning to work with AI agents in real delivery environments. Rather than treating AI as a coding shortcut, it shows how to introduce it as a managed capability across the software lifecycle.
It explains how agents differ from assistants, why evaluation matters when selecting tools, and how development changes when intent, supervision, and validation become more important than manual implementation.
You will learn how to use frameworks such as RACM to assess capability, Context Engineering to improve reliability, and PAIP to introduce repeatable integration patterns. The book also explains why Execution Plans and Logbooks matter when delegating work to agents, giving teams a way to align before action and review what happened afterward.
Beyond process, the book examines team redesign, new specialist roles, and the shift from directing people alone to orchestrating human and artificial contributors together.
It also addresses difficult issues often overlooked in AI adoption, including code churn, weak oversight, security exposure, opaque decisions, and the long-term cost of unmanaged speed. The result is a practical roadmap for adopting AI with discipline, transparency, and measurable intent.
What you will learn
- Distinguish agents from simpler AI coding assistants
- Assess tool fit using capability and autonomy criteria
- Structure prompts through richer Context Engineering
- Use plans and logs to supervise non-trivial AI tasks
- Design workflows for prototyping, refactoring, and QA
- Prevent hidden risk from churn, bias, and hallucinations
- Reorganize teams around emerging AI-native roles
- Build skills for orchestration, review, and governance
Who this book is for
This book is for developers,, tech leads, architects, and engineering managers who are actively building and delivering software while adapting to AI-driven change. It is especially valuable for mid-level and senior developers working across web, backend, and platform systems who want to stay relevant as their role shifts from writing code to guiding and validating AI-generated work.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
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.
