The pattern book for agents that actually ship
It catalogues the messy, repeatable tricks that real production agents use to stay useful, because tutorials only show toy demos.

What it does
The repository collects agentic AI patterns—mini-architectures, workflows, and operational tricks—that teams use to keep autonomous or semi-autonomous agents working in production. Each entry is backed by a public reference and judged by whether it improves how an agent senses, reasons, or acts. The list is auto-generated from markdown files in a patterns/ folder and surfaced through a companion website with filtering, comparison, and graph visualization.
The interesting bit Instead of celebrating one-off prompts, the project treats agent engineering as infrastructure: every pattern must be repeatable across teams and traceable to a real blog post, talk, or paper. That makes it closer to a field guide than a hype list.
Key highlights
- Patterns span eight categories, including Context & Memory, Feedback Loops, Orchestration & Control, and Reliability & Eval.
- Concrete entries include
Agent Circuit Breaker,Budget-Aware Model Routing with Hard Cost Caps, andMemory Synthesis from Execution Logs. - The companion website offers a Pattern Explorer, side-by-side Compare Tool, Decision Explorer, and graph visualization of pattern relationships.
- The entire catalogue is auto-generated from the
patterns/folder, so the README and site stay in sync.
Verdict Worth bookmarking if you are building or operating LLM agents and want to move beyond basic prompt-and-tool recipes. Skip it if you are looking for a framework or library—this is strictly a reference catalogue and website.
