Repeated canonical links across sections and dense matrix/timeline tables trigger high-noise violations that are expected in this format; spell-check is disabled because this list contains many proper nouns, project names, and acronyms that repeatedly false-positive.-->

 This is a *resources* list, not a tools list. Open-source **tools** for building agentic systems live in the sister list [awesome-production-agentic-systems](https://github.com/EthicalML/awesome-production-agentic-systems); production ML tooling lives in [awesome-production-machine-learning](https://github.com/EthicalML/awesome-production-machine-learning). This list covers the *learning, design, and operational resources* that sit alongside those tools — including both:
 
-- **Agentic engineering** — using AI agents to do software engineering (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Aider, Cline, Windsurf, Codex; spec-driven development; context engineering; agent IDE rules and memory files; SWE benchmarks).
-- **AI / agentic systems engineering** — building agentic and LLM-powered systems (architecture, RAG, memory, tool use & MCP, orchestration, multi-agent coordination, evaluation, observability, guardrails, safety, fine-tuning, inference, product/UX, economics, teams).
