  6. Multi-Agent AI Systems The Complete Handbook for Building Intelligent  Scalable, and Autonomous Agent Teams

    What happens when AI agents stop working alone and start working as a team?Artificial Intelligence is entering a new phase in which intelligent systems can do more than respond to individual instructions. Multiple specialized agents can collaborate, divide complex tasks, communicate with one another, use tools, evaluate results, and coordinate their actions toward a shared objective.Multi-Agent AI Systems: The Complete Handbook for Building Intelligent, Scalable, and Autonomous Agent Teams provides a practical roadmap for understanding this emerging paradigm.The book begins with the fundamentals of multi-agent systems and explains why collaboration between specialized agents can be valuable for complex workflows. Readers will learn about hierarchical, peer-to-peer, and hybrid architectures, along with roles such as manager, planner, worker, critic, and supervisor agents.It then moves into modern frameworks and technologies, including CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph, MetaGPT, LLMs, vector databases, and agent memory systems. Practical chapters explain how to design agent teams, decompose tasks, establish communication protocols, manage shared memory, coordinate workflows, integrate tools and APIs, and recover from failures.Readers will also explore advanced concepts such as dynamic replanning, parallel execution, swarm intelligence, agent debates, self-organizing systems, human-in-the-loop workflows, and multimodal agents.The book goes beyond experimentation and addresses the challenges of deploying multi-agent systems in real environments. Cloud deployment, Docker, Kubernetes, monitoring, logging, scaling, evaluation, benchmarking, testing, and cost optimization are included.Real-world applications demonstrate how agent teams can support software development, research, customer service, content creation, and business operations.Equally important, the book examines AI safety, privacy, security, transparency, governance, alignment, and responsible AI development.Whether you are a student discovering agentic AI, a developer building your first agent team, a researcher exploring collaborative intelligence, or a professional preparing for the next generation of AI applications, this book provides a foundation for moving from individual AI agents toward coordinated intelligent systems.Understand the architecture. Design the team. Build the agents. Coordinate the intelligence.

  14. Claude Code
    Claude Code
    Una guida pratica per chi vuole iniziare ad usare Claude Code in modo professionale
    Maurizio Pelizzone

    Una guida pratica a Claude Code, scritta con Claude Code.Su Claude Code circolano due tipi di contenuti: video YouTube che si fermano ai primi dieci minuti e thread social che promettono "guide complete" in cambio di un'email. Questo libro nasce dall'esigenza opposta: avere finalmente un manuale che spieghi lo strumento per intero, senza hype e senza muri di lead generation.140 pagine costruite a partire dalla documentazione ufficiale Anthropic, verificate su Claude Code v2.1.123, con esempi reali invece che screenshot da marketing. Si parte dall'installazione su macOS, Linux e Windows, si passa per Plan Mode, CLAUDE.md, gestione del contesto, sicurezza dei permessi, Skill personalizzate, subagent custom, integrazione MCP, e si arriva al prompt engineering aggiornato al 2026 — quello vero, dopo che le formule magiche del 2023 si sono sgonfiate.Il libro è pensato per due lettori in parallelo: lo sviluppatore senior che vuole integrare Claude Code nel proprio workflow di produzione, e chi si avvicina per la prima volta agli strumenti AI agentici e ha bisogno di una mappa. I capitoli iniziali costruiscono le basi senza dare nulla per scontato; quelli avanzati entrano nei meccanismi che fanno la differenza tra un uso superficiale e uno strategico.Tre cose che troverai e che altrove fatico a trovare:Il prompt engineering riletto al 2026. Niente ruoli posticci, niente "agisci come un esperto di...". Le tre leve che contano davvero — istruzioni esplicite, contesto adeguato, esempi curati — applicate al contesto specifico della CLI.Workflow reali, non demo da slide. Esempi concreti su WordPress e Node.js presi da progetti veri, non da repository giocattolo.In apertura c'è una prefazione scritta da Claude Opus, a cui ho dato il manoscritto completo chiedendogli un commento onesto, anche dove il libro non funzionava. È rimasta lì come l'ha scritta: è il modo più trasparente che mi sia venuto in mente per inquadrare il libro.Il libro è gratis — pay-what-you-want con minimo zero. Se ti torna utile e vuoi contribuire, decidi tu quanto. Se non puoi o non vuoi, scarichi e leggi senza pensieri: la licenza Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 ti permette anche di redistribuirlo e modificarlo, basta citare la fonte e mantenere la stessa licenza.

  15. The Claude Code Safety Field Manual
    The Claude Code Safety Field Manual
    A free, verified guide to Claude Code hooks: which PreToolUse or PostToolUse matcher can refuse a tool call, what to check when a hook is not working, and how to prove a guard actually fires.
    yurukusa

    Installing safety hooks for Claude Code takes about thirty seconds. Proving they actually refuse anything is the step almost everyone skips — and an unverified guard looks exactly like a working one. Free: the pre-flight checklist, which event can refuse a tool call and which only watches, how to make a guard fire on purpose, what a broken hook does, and a catalogue of all 915 example hooks in cc-safe-setup.
