Agentic Coding with Claude Code

Agentic coding for working developers

Agentic Coding with Claude Code is a practical guide for developers who want to move beyond one-off prompts and use Claude Code as a structured development partner. Eden Marco keeps the focus on real workflow problems: how to give an AI agent the right context, how to preserve useful memory, and how to keep automation controlled as a project grows.

The result is a book that feels hands-on rather than theoretical. It begins with context engineering and then works through the everyday tools that make Claude Code useful in production-minded development: slash commands, memory files, hooks, MCP servers, plugins, GitHub integration, planning mode, subagents, and output styles. Later chapters extend that foundation into desktop workflows, parallel agents, and deeper agent design.

What the book covers

• Context engineering and the shift from prompt engineering to structured context
• Using Claude Code inside terminal and IDE-based workflows
• Managing persistent memory and reusable project context
• Automating development tasks with hooks and slash commands
• Connecting Claude Code to MCP servers and plugins
• Working with GitHub, planning, subagents, and parallel sessions
• Shaping output styles and exploring more advanced agent patterns

Who will get the most from it?

This title is best suited to application developers, software engineers, and AI practitioners who already know their way around modern development work and want a more disciplined approach to agentic coding. If you are trying to make Claude Code more predictable, more useful, and more deeply integrated into a real project, this book gives you a clear path forward.

Why it stands out

Rather than treating AI coding as a novelty, the book frames it as an engineering workflow that depends on context, orchestration, and practical constraints. That makes it especially relevant for readers who want useful methods they can apply immediately, not just a high-level overview.
