Knowledge-Centric Information Systems
arXiv:2607. 02609v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For decades, data engineering has developed mature architectural principles for integrating, governing, validating, cataloging, and serving organizational data.
arXiv:2603. 14805v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Enterprise software organizations accumulate critical institutional knowledge - architectural decisions, deployment procedures, compliance policies, incident playbooks - yet this knowledge remains trapped in formats designed for human interpretation.

arXiv:2609. 04377v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise AI deployments fail not from model inadequacy, but because organizations lack a structured substrate encoding how they decide, negotiate, and execute.
arXiv:2608. 10153v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprises are deploying autonomous AI agents faster than they can govern them, and prevailing approaches stretch a single discipline, typically DevSecOps built for deterministic automation, across every scale of agency.
The paper introduces Knowledge Cards, a new structured artefact designed to capture validated knowledge about specific concepts that AI systems use to make decisions. Unlike existing model, data, and system cards, Knowledge Cards focus on the layer between inputs and outputs, documenting entities, relationships, reasoning patterns, conditions for validity, and provenance, all grounded in a formal domain ontology and signed off by a domain expert. Prototype cards have been created in the energy and pharmaceutical domains, and the schema is released as a public draft for community engagement.
The paper introduces Spec-Driven Agentic Development (SDAD), a framework that leverages large language models to ingest extensive functional requirement documents and repository context in a single workflow, turning specification quality into the engine for autonomous software delivery. SDAD blends disciplined upfront formalisation with rapid implementation, encompassing intent capture, machine‑readable specifications, agentic synthesis, and multi‑agent verification with human sign‑off. It positions AI‑code as a fourth production paradigm, compares it to traditional Waterfall and Agile approaches, and extends the model to team role evolution, quantitative governance metrics, and a staged migration blueprint for practical adoption.
The report examines how software architects view the growing use of AI development agents in their field. A focus group of 22 industry and academic participants discussed current practices, trust, validation, governance, and educational implications, concluding that decision‑making, accountability, and guardrail authoring remain human responsibilities. They introduced the concept of harness engineering—building systems that govern AI‑assisted creation—and identified criticality and cognitive debt as key factors for calibrating human oversight.
The paper introduces Repo-To-Skill, a method for converting GitHub repositories into reusable AI skills. By distilling operational knowledge from over 1,000 machine‑learning repositories, the authors build the AREX‑Skill Library with more than 5,000 verified skills across 20 areas. Integrating these skills into a research agent—DisCo—yields significant performance boosts on multiple benchmarks, demonstrating the value of reusable, task‑agnostic knowledge.
arXiv:2602. 12430v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The transition from monolithic language models to modular, skill-equipped agents marks a defining shift in how large language models (LLMs) are deployed in practice.
arXiv:2607. 28650v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While industry discourse often emphasizes immediate productivity gains and frames GenAI primarily as a tool for automation, the integration of GenAI into system administration may involve deeper shifts in professional practice that are not yet fully understood.

Repo-To-Skill: Distilling GitHub Repositories Into AI4AI Skills introduces DisCo, a research agent that extracts and verifies operational knowledge from GitHub repositories to create reusable AI skills. The agent produces both task‑agnostic skills—compiled into the AREX‑Skill Library of over 5,000 verified skills from 1,000 repositories—and task‑oriented skills tailored to specific research tasks. When equipped with these skills, the agent achieves significant performance gains across multiple benchmarks, outperforming a skill‑free version by 134.3% on MLE‑bench, 34.4% on PaperBench, 9.2% on FrontierCS, and 14.0% on PassNet.
arXiv:2607. 03516v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Enterprise artificial intelligence is moving from isolated experimentation toward operational dependency across copilots, retrieval-augmented generation systems, autonomous agents, and AI-enabled business workflows.
