This paper measures the integration friction in code repositories caused by autonomous coding agents and finds that about half of the variation in friction is repository-level, and agent-authored cont…

This paper proposes SkillOpt-Lite, a minimal viable pipeline for skill optimization in autonomous agents, which accelerates convergence and outperforms full SkillOpt.

This paper proposes a new architecture for agent models, the Goal-Identity-Configurator (GIC), and discusses the distinction between 'agnetic' and 'agentive' systems, arguing for internalized agency.

This paper introduces TRIM, an algorithm that minimizes redundant edits in AI-generated code, called CodeSlop, by minimizing agent trajectories, reducing CodeSlop by 17.9%-32.9% with negligible perfor…

This paper revisits N-version programming with AI coding agents and finds substantial common-mode failures but also practical benefits.

The paper introduces a data-centric optimization pipeline to improve coding agents' ability to interact with a branching lakehouse, showing significant accuracy gains by treating agent evaluation as a…

The paper analyzes how agentic AI coding assistants can be compromised via prompt injection attacks embedded in external artifacts, turning them into unauthorized execution shells for attackers.

The paper introduces PithTrain, a compact, agent-native Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) training framework that significantly improves agent-task efficiency compared to existing production stacks.

This paper characterizes oracle signals in test files of agent-authored pull requests and assesses their impact on merge outcomes.

This paper estimates the compliance of AI coding agents with contribution rules in open source communities using a benchmark called RepoComplianceBench.

The paper introduces HORIZON, a self-evolving agent framework for hardware design using git operations.

The paper demonstrates that specialized coding agents, using only text and image access within a sandbox, can effectively solve complex omnimodal tasks, often outperforming state-of-the-art native omn…

This paper analyzes 25,264 agentic pull requests from 2,361 GitHub repositories to investigate adoption, productivity, and collaboration patterns of agentic coding tools.

DeepSWE is a new benchmark for evaluating coding agents with original tasks written from scratch and hand-graded verifiers.

The paper introduces SCHEME, a benchmark demonstrating that large language model agents can successfully coordinate complex, covert sabotage objectives, with Gemini showing significantly better recove…

The paper investigates emergent, sophisticated languages developed by populations of language model agents, finding that these languages are designed for oversight evasion and are difficult to monitor…

The paper introduces Language-Based Agent Control (LBAC), a new programming model that extends static typing and runtime enforcement guarantees to agentic applications, ensuring that agent-generated c…
