Designing AI Agents
Manning Publications
The book on agent design patterns. Twenty-seven patterns organized across
seven cognitive functions (perception, memory, reasoning, action,
reflection, collaboration, governance) and six topologies (chain, route,
parallel, orchestrate, hierarchy, loop). Read end-to-end as the long form
of one thesis: agent architecture is the design of bounded resource
allocation under uncertainty — the model spends, the harness
budgets.
Built around Argus, a working code-review agent that grows
from a fifty-line skeleton in Chapter 2 to a complete production system
by Chapter 10. Reference architectures include Claude Code, Cursor, Spotify
Honk, Sierra, Manus, and Amazon Q Developer. For engineers who already
know how to build agents and want to know which agent to build.
