Agentic Continuous Delivery
Make change work. In minutes.
Your agent can build a working application in an afternoon. Can another agent safely change it six months later?
Passing tests cannot answer that question if the intended behaviour exists only in yesterday’s chat. The code may work while the knowledge needed to maintain it has already disappeared.
Try this: finish one change, discard the conversation, and ask a fresh agent to explain what changed, why, and how it was verified. If the repository cannot answer, the work is unfinished.
Agentic Continuous Delivery builds rigorous engineering discipline into everyday development, keeping software understandable and maintainable as agents accelerate the pace of change.

About the Book
A quantum leap for Vibe Coders — and the missing links rigorous CD and DevOps practitioners need to work effectively with Coding Agents.
Coding Agents can make software development dramatically faster. Unfortunately, they can also make a mess dramatically faster.
This book shows how to keep development reliable, controlled and maintainable as implementation accelerates and the codebase grows.
For Vibe Coders, it introduces the engineering disciplines that prevent a fast-moving project from turning into an unmaintainable brownfield after a few deployments.
For experienced developers, CD practitioners and DevOps engineers, it explains what changes when an agent can implement in minutes what previously took hours or days, and how familiar engineering practices need to connect into a coherent system that can operate at that speed at any scale.
You can read the book yourself.
More importantly, you can give it to your Coding Agent.
The book is designed to be sufficiently explicit that an agent can use it to examine your repository, identify known failure modes, propose improvements, organize its own development process around ACD, and stop you from making decisions that may look harmless today but become extremely expensive later.
The objective is not simply to get software built.
It is to keep software workable, so that months and years later, changing it is still cheap, fast and boring.

About the Author
Michael Küsters
Michael Küsters has seen most sides of business: startup, SME, scale-up and enterprise; developer, consultant, manager and C-level executive.
His work includes TOP Structure, CARE, VXS, Heroes of Legends, and several books about Agile and organizational change. Across all of them, the recurring theme is the same: ideas are cheap, systems are messy, and bad ideas become dangerous once they acquire momentum, status and budget before reality gets a chance to object.
He takes most things with humor.
Waste and institutionalized stupidity are not on that list.
