Terminal-Universe is a framework that transforms large collections of terminal‑based agent trajectories into reusable, executable environments. By replaying recorded file operations and completing missing files, it reconstructs the original workspace and task, then synthesizes new tasks and multi‑round interactions. The resulting 37.3k task‑sufficient environments enable significant performance gains when fine‑tuning language models on terminal‑based benchmarks.

FACET is a framework for synthesizing terminal tasks that preserves source intent and ensures cross‑artifact consistency. It reconstructs agent skills into coherent scenarios, repairs the execution environment, and uses the resulting container state as shared grounding for the instruction, solution, and verifier. By validating and repairing artifacts through execution, FACET produces complex tasks with dense executable checks and data‑efficient supervision, improving performance on Terminal‑Bench 2.1.

RefactorPlatform is an open‑source harness that standardizes the evaluation of repository‑scale refactoring agents by fixing the environment and systematically varying design choices such as model backbone, execution regime, and prompt specificity. Each run operates in an isolated workspace, logs detailed telemetry, and verifies changes with AST‑based checks. Experiments on 100 RefactorBench tasks show that AST‑aware chunking improves performance by 25‑30%, a lean retrieval‑augmented single agent outperforms a sub‑agent configuration, and retrieval’s accuracy gains offset its token overhead, keeping cost per successful refactoring unchanged.

OS-Marathon is a new benchmark that tests computer‑use agents on vast‑horizon, repetitive tasks, covering 100 tasks across five scenarios and ten domains. The study shows that current state‑of‑the‑art agents perform poorly on these tasks, and that simply decomposing workflows into subtasks does not solve the problem. Introducing a cost‑friendly personalization method called GraphDemo, which adapts agents from a single human demonstration, improves performance, highlighting the value of human guidance for these challenging tasks.
