The book
The manuscript
A book about what was built on 29 October 2026: a ten-agent team, run by one person, that took a talk from nothing to on stage in one day, with the record to prove it. Two threads told as one story: the workflow (how the team was set up, briefed, scheduled, keyed, reviewed, held and released, and how to replicate it) and the argument (the talk itself: agents are the ultimate insider, and brakes are what let us go faster).
Status: the plan is not signed yet, so no chapter is written. Round 0 (Friday 30 October): repositories up, the Leanpub book created, the build producing a PDF, the librarian's index started.
Contents
The order is manuscript/Book.txt, the file Leanpub reads, so the site and the book cannot disagree on it.
The title
Open: the editor signs the title in round 1. The candidates from the positioning starter, for the market stream to test, not to adopt:
- The Ultimate Insider: one day, ten agents, one talk
- Nineteen Hours: how an agent team built a talk, and what kept it in check
- Brakes So We Can Go Faster: running an agent team for real
- Built in a Day: the record of an agentic team
- The Conductor's Day
- Agents Are the Ultimate Insider: the book of the talk
Formats
Leanpub first (PDF and EPUB, set-your-own-price with a floor), then the Amazon KDP ebook, then a paperback with QR codes on the page pointing to the record. The manuscript in this repository, manuscript/, is the one source for all of them.
