📖 What This Book Covers
A reorganization of the ai-coding-guide repository — 10 mainstream AI coding tools, 7 universal methodologies, and end-to-end real-world scripts — restructured by reader persona instead of by tool, into a 3-volume + appendix progressive reader.
Tools change generations; methodology endures. So the book teaches methodology first, tools as evidence.
Volume I · Getting Started
For: AI-coding beginners / Tab-completion-only users
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| §0 | 9-tool cheatsheet (pick a tool in 30 seconds) |
| §1 | Prompt engineering (the four-element template) |
| §2 | Task decomposition (slice up the task before handing to AI) |
| §3 | Context management (prevent the conversation from "getting dumber") |
| §4-7 | 4-tool quick-start: Cursor / GitHub Copilot / Claude Code / OpenAI Codex CLI |
Volume II · Workflows
For: Already using 1-2 tools, want efficiency uplift
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| §1-3 | Code review / debugging / testing methodologies |
| §4-7 | Multi-tool orchestration: selection / scenarios / Claude Code + Cursor / Claude Code + Copilot |
| §8-12 | 31 deep pitfalls across 4 mainstream tools (symptom / root cause / fix / prevention) |
| §13-17 | Advanced tools: Aider / Gemini CLI / Windsurf / Trae / Kiro |
Volume III · Architecture
For: Team leads / platform engineers / CTOs
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| §1 | Security fundamentals (red lines first) |
| §2 | OpenClaw — open-source AI Agent framework |
| §3 | Further learning resources |
Appendix · Cheatsheet
Keep it on your desk; flip through twice a day
| Content |
|---|
| 9-tool capability matrix + 30-second decision table |
| Per-tool core commands, config paths, hotkeys |
| 5 recommended tool combos |
🎯 Who Is This For
- Beginners: Never used AI coding tools, want to learn properly from zero
- Intermediate: Already using Cursor/Copilot but efficiency could be higher
- Teams: Want to integrate AI coding into CI, security, governance
- Creators: Writing tech content and need a reliable, source-cited reference
🔬 Information Trustworthiness
Every CLI flag, config field, subcommand, and model name has been verified against upstream source code (the OpenAI Codex CLI chapter went through 6 rounds of source-code verification). Common community misinformation (--full-auto, bubblewrap, etc.) is corrected — any rebutted "common knowledge" has a source link attached.
Tools iterate fast — each chapter notes its "verified through" date. This v1.0 reflects tool state as of 2026-05.
