The Agentic AI Handbook: Production-Ready Patterns
Summary
The article provides a comprehensive catalog of 113 production-ready patterns for building agentic AI systems, organized into eight categories (Orchestration, Tool Use, Context & Memory, Feedback Loops, UX & Collaboration, Reliability & Eval, Learning & Adaptation, Security & Safety). It highlights how production-readiness emerged during the 2025 holiday spike, with patterns such as Plan-Then-Execute, Inversion of Control, Swarm Migration, LATS, and GoT; and it covers security, maturity, and practical steps to start building a pattern library for real-world use.
