Do Personalized Skills Help Coding Agents? An Empirical Study of Developer Interaction Traces

The paper investigates whether tailoring coding agent skills to individual developers improves collaboration. It introduces a framework that bootstraps rule‑based skills and refines them with LLMs to capture developer‑specific preferences, and evaluates this approach using an interactive replay system with a simulated developer. Experiments on real interaction logs show that while task‑specific skills generally perform best, personalized skills become more effective when developers frequently express consistent preferences, especially on related tasks.

User Feedback Provides a Unique Signal that LLMs Can not Detect

The paper argues that user feedback from real interactions is a valuable learning signal for Large Language Models (LLMs), contrary to recent claims that it is too noisy to use. By creating synthetic data with a clear ground truth and testing on naturalistic data, the authors show that revisions guided by user feedback fix targeted issues more often than baseline revisions. They further reveal that current evaluation methods bias against feedback‑driven improvements, as judges tend to overlook genuinely corrected responses and favor inferior baselines.

SWE-Journey: Towards More Realistic Evaluation of Coding Assistants through Long-Horizon, Multi-Turn Interaction

SWE-Journey is a new benchmark designed to evaluate coding assistants in more realistic settings, focusing on long-horizon tasks and multi-turn interactions. It introduces a weak-to-strong synthesis pipeline to create extended coding challenges and a user-simulation agent based on four real user personas to mimic authentic code-assistance dialogues. The benchmark reveals that while models succeed on over 75% of tests with software architects, they manage less than 25% with non-coders, highlighting a significant gap in current assistant capabilities.

Rendering-in-the-Loop: An Execution-Driven Agent for Interactive Web Development

RILA is an execution‑driven agent that integrates browser rendering into the generation loop for interactive web development. It uses an Action Interaction Verification module to replay reference interactions on generated pages, collecting execution‑aware observations, and an Execution‑aware Rendering Score to jointly assess interaction correctness and visual fidelity during iterative optimization. A data synthesis pipeline further augments training data, enabling RILA to significantly improve interaction and visual quality across foundation models, even outperforming larger one‑shot generators.
