LEDGER: Scaling Agentic Document Editing with Dependency-aware Graph Retrieval

arXiv:2606. 28379v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce LEDGER to tackle the novel context engineering challenge of agentic document editing, where localized edits to long, structured documents must be applied efficiently without breaking cross-references or semantic consistency.

Compact Documentation for Coding Agents: A Benchmark, an Optimizer, and Why It Does Not Transfer

The paper explores whether natural‑language documentation aids coding agents in fixing software bugs and introduces a roundtrip benchmark that evaluates code descriptions by regenerating code and testing it. It finds that description completeness, not length, determines fidelity, and presents an optimizer that can produce fully faithful descriptions that generalize to new files. However, experiments across two model families and ten repositories show that such compact documentation does not improve an agent’s ability to resolve real repository issues compared to using the issue alone.

VikingRAG: Accurate and Token-efficient Retrieval-augmented Generation over Structured Documents

VikingRAG is a directory‑aware semantic data management system that reduces token usage in retrieval‑augmented generation by tightly integrating semantic and structural access. It employs multi‑round retrieval traces as reusable experience edges and an adaptive escalation strategy to avoid unnecessary multi‑round exploration. Experiments show that VikingRAG achieves comparable accuracy to state‑of‑the‑art methods while using only 11.6%–51.9% of their tokens, and further reductions to 5.1%–32.5% with trace reuse and escalation.

Librarian Agents: Training LLMs to Curate Long-Context Workspaces that Anticipate Future Queries

The paper introduces Librarian Agents, a framework that trains large language models to proactively curate long-context workspaces by reorganizing raw documents into a hierarchical filesystem of synthetic files and reference links. This builder agent, optimized via reinforcement learning, aims to maximize downstream answering accuracy by anticipating future queries rather than reacting to them. Experiments show that Librarian Agents outperform leading retrieval and precomputation methods, achieving a 33‑point accuracy gain on BrowseComp‑Plus and a 31‑point improvement on BRIGHT in zero‑shot settings.
