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

- [About this edition](about-this-edition.md)

The order is `manuscript/Book.txt`, the file Leanpub reads, so the site and the book cannot disagree on it.

[The manuscript as PDF](../manuscript/the-ultimate-insider.pdf) [as EPUB](../manuscript/the-ultimate-insider.epub)

Built from `manuscript/` by CI on every release (`publishing/build_book.py`), so they are always this build's text, whatever state it is in.

## 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.
