The paper reports on building a research-software catalog using a coding agent, starting from a three‑day hackathon prototype and moving to public deployment. It details the engineering work needed—adversarial review, data‑quality checks, browser validation, and publication safeguards—to ensure reliable operation, noting that silent failures were more problematic than crashes. The authors then examine applying these lessons to a larger, human‑curated portal (MateriApps) that combines curated metadata, external documentation, vector search, and local language‑model generation, finding that explicit validation, monitoring, and repeated review remain essential for AI‑assisted software portals.
arXiv:2607. 16845v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientists at European XFEL conduct experiments that generate very large and complex datasets.
The paper introduces the Scientific Data Skill (SciDSK), an agent‑ready representation that packages dataset‑specific knowledge and operational guidance as a reusable skill. SciDSK integrates dataset descriptions, scientific context, file organization, usage procedures, quality checks, and provenance information while keeping the data in its original repository. The authors define a structured specification, build a construction pipeline, and launch the Scientific Data Skill Bank to publish SciDSK resources across six scientific disciplines, demonstrating improved agent‑driven dataset discovery and interpretation through evaluation benchmarks.
arXiv:2608. 19625v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific data are increasingly used by AI agents, yet existing dataset representations provide limited support for autonomous discovery, interpretation, and invocation.
arXiv:2609.07586v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Software repositories contain vast amounts of data on code contributions, bug reports, and project activities, yet this information remains challenging...
arXiv:2606. 31651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent automated research systems show that language-model agents can generate hypotheses, run experiments, and write complete manuscripts, but most evidence still comes from selected examples, human-framed topics, or a few pre-defined research tasks.
arXiv:2606. 09090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Developers increasingly provide AI coding assistants with persistent context through configuration files such as CLAUDE.
The paper introduces an end‑to‑end pipeline that harvests, validates, and models links between scholarly articles and their source code from journals such as JOSS, SoftwareX, and IPOL, as well as SIGMOD ARI reproducibility reports. It produces a curated set of 4,397 DOI‑repository pairs and defines two Wikidata‑based application profiles—one for articles and one for software—aligned with schema.org and CodeMeta. Using these profiles, the authors created 4,182 new Wikidata software items linked to their papers, while only 82 repositories were previously represented, and they demonstrate compatibility with the COAR Notify protocol for future live enrichment.

arXiv:2607. 18356v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Maintaining up-to-date code documentation is difficult in fast-moving repositories because design knowledge is scattered across source files and pull requests.
arXiv:2607. 28229v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The web is increasingly accessed by AI agents rather than humans.
arXiv:2607. 02703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we describe LLMoxie, an institutional AI platform whose three-tiered architecture supports multi-cloud and on-premise inference, a LiteLLM/MLflow control plane for authentication, budgeting, PII masking, and observability, and an application augmentation layer for AI coding agents.
arXiv:2607. 02520v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated research agents increasingly generate code, retrieve literature, and draft scientific artifacts, but they often fail to verify whether generated experiments execute correctly or whether cited sources support generated claims.
