Decide whether to migrate. Control your token bill. Read failures before you make them. The three books are sold separately on Gumroad. This page exists because reading any two of them sharpens the third.
Five measurable triggers, three-path framework (stay / switch / hybrid), cost-forecast worksheet, decision tree, 48-hour rollback checklist. Edition 2 adds hybrid delegation, proxy architectures, and enterprise stay paths.
View on Gumroad →800+ measured hours distilled into 10 chapters. CLAUDE.md restructuring (100→35 lines, cache hit 89%→95%), 9 hook-based token guards, context management timing, cache_control bug recovery, post-compaction spike forensics.
View on Gumroad →Ten production-level incidents reverse-engineered from public Issues, commits, and 800+ verified hours. Detection hooks for each pattern. The book is the body of evidence the changelog left out.
View on Gumroad →Each book was built around a specific decision. Migration Playbook answers "should I move?" with five measurable triggers and a three-path comparison. Token Book answers "where is the bill going?" with cache ratio targets and 9 enforcement hooks. Incident Postmortems answers "what already broke?" with ten reverse-engineered production failures.
A single 300-page book would have collapsed all three decisions into one chapter each, and the reader would have skipped two of them. Splitting forces honesty: each book has to earn its price on its own. The reader who finishes one is the reader who is ready for the next.
There is no enforced reading order. The most common path is Token Book → Postmortems → Migration Playbook for someone already in production, or Migration Playbook → Postmortems → Token Book for someone deciding before they start.

Three books mean three entry points. Pick the one that matches what is hurting right now. The other two stay on the shelf until the matching symptom appears.
