My Claude Code book is now live on Amazon Kindle:

Claude Code: Building Production Agents That Actually Scale

ASIN: B0GXL71ZPZ.

This is the book I wanted when Claude Code stopped feeling like a neat demo and started feeling like something teams would actually wire into their engineering work.

The uncomfortable bit is that the hard problems are rarely the model in isolation. The hard problems are the operating loop around it: what the agent can touch, what evidence it leaves behind, what a reviewer can trust, how the team catches bad runs, and how you unwind the change when something goes wrong.

That is where the book spends its time.

Who it is for

It is written for engineers, architects, tech leads, and platform teams who are already past the “can it write code?” question.

If your agent can read files, edit code, run commands, call MCP tools, touch CI, or move near production-shaped systems, then you are not only prompting a model. You are designing an operating system for agent work.

The book is for that moment.

What it covers

The chapters focus on the controls that make Claude Code useful inside real teams:

  • permission modes, tool scope, and blast radius
  • MCP as a production integration surface, not a novelty
  • hooks, policies, and approval gates
  • evals built from bad agent runs
  • observability and flight recorders for agent sessions
  • cost controls and runaway-loop prevention
  • rollback notes, audit trails, and human review that still means something

None of that is as flashy as a perfect one-shot demo. Good. Demos do not get paged at 3am.

Why Amazon matters

LeanPub has been useful while the book took shape. Amazon makes it easier for Kindle readers to find and buy it in the place they already use for technical books.

If you prefer Kindle, the Amazon edition is here:

The site still has the free production checklist if you want a shorter starting point before buying the book:

Thanks to everyone who has been reading, challenging, and sharpening these ideas. The book is stronger because the real production questions are messier than the tidy ones.
