Designing AI Agents — Source Code

Designing AI Agents — the design-pattern catalogue for production AI agents. (Manning)

This repository is the official source code for the book.

Current MEAP companion code

This repository matches the September 2026 MEAP update of Designing AI Agents. The MEAP code guide maps each book listing to its runnable source file and verification command.

The examples are organized in two tracks:

  • argus/ — Argus, the running-example PR-review agent, evolves cumulatively from Ch2 to Ch10. Each chapter adds one cognitive module and ships a self-contained snapshot that imports as from argus import ... so the reader runs the chapter’s Argus directly: python -m argus.cli <diff> --project <name>.
  • patterns/ — independent pattern demos for everything the chapter introduces. Patterns that do not belong in the cumulative Argus example remain here as runnable references.
