This site is the reader-facing home for the book. Use it to understand the scope, choose the right starting point, and navigate the chapters in the intended order.

Draft Release Notice

This public edition is a draft release intended for early reading and feedback. Version v0.0.5 is reasonable to publish publicly, but it is not yet the final, fully tested edition. The content will continue to evolve toward a more complete and production-tested v1.0.0 release.

What You Will Find Here¶

A branded site header with logo, search, and top-level chapter navigation.
A guided reading path from foundations to implementation and then to AI Agents.
A practical home page that works as orientation first and quick reference second.
A clear release footer with version, source, publisher, and contact placeholders.

How to Read This Book¶

Start here on Home if you want orientation, reading order, and quick links.
Read Chapter 1 first for the core mental model: AI should amplify a DevOps engineer, not replace engineering judgment — and the three structures (Prompt, Engineering, Workflow) are the permanent layer that outlasts any tool.
Read Chapter 2 next for the repo-first, tool-agnostic workflow that anchors the rest of the book: the Software Orchestrator builds workflows with the right tool for each phase, and the repository is the source of truth.
Use Chapters 3-9 as the implementation path for structure, deployment, governance, observability, and improvement.
Treat Chapter 10 as a culmination, not an entry point.

7. Troubleshooting ¶

7.1 Common Issues¶

Issue	Likely Cause	Fix	Reference
AI output violates constraints	Constraints not clear in prompt	Make constraints more explicit	01-introduction.md
AI hallucinates facts/APIs	No grounding in prompt	Add grounding: "Only use these APIs..."	01-introduction.md
AI can't follow multi-step logic	Task too complex	Break into steps with chain-of-thought	01-introduction.md
AI contradicts itself	Long context	Use shorter prompts	01-introduction.md
AI works on common cases, fails on rare	Training data bias	Provide rare case examples	01-introduction.md
High AI Agent escalation rate	Confidence threshold too high	Adjust threshold or improve training	10-ai-agent.md
AI Agent boundary violations	Boundaries not enforced	Check governance configuration	07-governance-safety.md

7.2 AI Agent Issues¶

Issue	Fix	Reference
AI Agent not making decisions	Check if rules are handling all cases	10-ai-agent.md
AI Agent making wrong decisions	Lower confidence threshold, more training data	10-ai-agent.md
AI Agent too conservative	Increase confidence threshold gradually	10-ai-agent.md
AI Agent too aggressive	Decrease confidence threshold, add boundaries	10-ai-agent.md
AI Agent not learning	Check learning configuration, feedback loop	09-continuous-improvement.md

8. Publishing to Cloudflare Pages ¶

8.1 MkDocs Setup¶

Step 1: Install MkDocs

# Install MkDocs and material theme
pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material

# Or with pipx (recommended)
pipx install mkdocs
pipx inject mkdocs mkdocs-material

Step 2: Create MkDocs Configuration

├── 08-monitoring-observability.md
├── 09-continuous-improvement.md
└── 10-ai-agent.md

Step 4: Test Locally

# Serve locally
mkdocs serve

# Build site
mkdocs build

8.2 Cloudflare Pages Deployment¶

Step 1: Create Cloudflare Account

Go to https://cloudflare.com
Sign up for free account

Step 2: Connect Git Repository

# Clone your repository
git clone https://github.com/ocooee/aibook.git
cd aibook

# Add and commit any changes
git add .
git commit -m "Add final index and mkdocs configuration"
git push origin main

Step 3: Create Cloudflare Pages Project

Go to Cloudflare Dashboard: https://dash.cloudflare.com
Navigate to Workers & Pages → Pages
Click "Create a project"
Connect to GitHub
Select repository: ocooee/aibook
Configure build settings:

Framework preset: MkDocs
Build command: mkdocs build
Build output directory: site
Environment variables (optional):
  PYTHON_VERSION: 3.11

Step 4: Configure Custom Domain

After initial deployment, go to Pages project settings
Navigate to "Custom domains"
Click "Set up a custom domain"
Enter: aibook.ocooee.com
Follow DNS configuration instructions:
Add CNAME record: aibook.ocooee.com → aibook.pages.dev
Or use Cloudflare proxy (recommended)

Step 5: Verify Deployment

Visit: https://aibook.ocooee.com
Verify all chapter links work
Test search functionality
Check mobile responsiveness

8.3 GitHub Actions for Auto-Deploy¶

File: .github/workflows/deploy.yml

name: Deploy to Cloudflare Pages

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main          # → staging
    tags:
      - "v*"          # → production
  workflow_dispatch:  # Allow manual trigger

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: ${{ github.ref_type == 'tag' && 'production' || 'staging' }}
    permissions:
      contents: read
      deployments: write

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Setup Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: '3.11'

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material mkdocs-minify-plugin

      - name: Build site
        run: mkdocs build

      - name: Deploy to Cloudflare Pages
        uses: cloudflare/wrangler-action@v3
        with:
          apiToken: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
          accountId: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID }}
          command: pages deploy site --project-name=aibook --branch ${{ github.ref_type == 'tag' && 'main' || 'staging' }}

8.4 Cloudflare Secrets Setup¶

Create API Token:

Go to Cloudflare Dashboard: https://dash.cloudflare.com
Navigate to Profile → API Tokens
Click "Create Token"
Select "Edit Cloudflare Workers" template
Customize permissions:
Account → Cloudflare Pages → Edit
Account → Cloudflare Workers → Read (optional)
Click "Continue to summary" → "Create Token"
Copy the token immediately (won't show again)

Add to GitHub Secrets:

Go to your repo: https://github.com/ocooee/aibook
Navigate to Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
Click "New repository secret"
Add these secrets:

Name	Value
`CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`	Your API token from above
`CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID`	Your Cloudflare Account ID (found in Dashboard)

8.5 DNS Configuration for Custom Domain¶

If using Cloudflare DNS:

Go to Cloudflare Dashboard → DNS
Add CNAME record:

Type: CNAME
Name: aibook
Content: aibook.pages.dev
Proxy status: Proxied (orange cloud)
TTL: Auto

If using external DNS:

Add CNAME record at your DNS provider:

Type: CNAME
Name: aibook.ocooee.com
Value: aibook.pages.dev
TTL: 3600

In Cloudflare Pages settings:
Go to Custom domains
Click "Verify" next to aibook.ocooee.com
Wait for DNS propagation (may take up to 24 hours)
