What the book is

Sixty-two short chapters. Each one is a pattern that shows up when an agent has to do real work and not lie about it. Bottom line first. When it bites. The pattern. One production story where Jeremy is the idiot. The quiet failure. Do and don’t. Receipts. No invented citations. Open the chapter that is on fire.

The thesis that holds it together: the agent that wins is not the smartest one. It is the one that shows up on the schedule, does the boring job, and writes down what it did so somebody can check. That is what beat him in his own kitchen. Reliability is the entire product.

If you only read one stretch, read reliability, chapters 31 through 40, starting at chapter 33: it said success and did the wrong thing. Chapter 15: a plan is not the work. Chapter 23: the citation was fake. Chapter 36: don’t say done until you checked. Chapter 42: your agent just hit your NAS. Chapter 52: yelling doesn’t make it learn. Chapter 61: build the lever. Chapter 62: 1-800-AI-ABUSE.
