arXiv:2606. 21894v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As coding agents are rapidly changing software engineering, a natural question is: what are the core skills needed by future software engineers?
arXiv:2606. 01152v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The work of a professional software engineer has begun to consist, increasingly, of directing agents rather than writing code, and the empirical evidence for the shift is now several years deep.
arXiv:2607. 21832v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in large language models and their rapid adoption across software engineering tasks have made Artificial Intelligence (AI) coding agents an integral component of modern software development workflows.
arXiv:2608. 04148v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic AI is increasingly used to coordinate planning, implementation, review, and testing in software development, yet it often offers limited transparency into its decisions and interactions.
arXiv:2607. 25032v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent Skills are an emerging way to extend large language model agents with reusable procedural knowledge that the agent loads on demand.
arXiv:2606. 17819v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent skills -- structured, reusable knowledge artifacts that augment LLM agent capabilities -- have been rapidly adopted in industry, yet their cross-domain impact and use across commercial and open-source models remain under-studied, and no reusable methodology exists for evaluating an individual skill.
arXiv:2606. 05608v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For over half a century, software engineering has operated on a foundational premise: human engineers decompose problems, encode decision logic into static code, and manually adapt that code as requirements evolve.
Sea Limited's CPO explains why the company is deploying Codex across engineering teams to accelerate AI-native software development in Asia.
arXiv:2608. 12355v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent progress in AI coding agent research has led to rapid improvements in agents' ability to autonomously perform complex software engineering tasks, from editing large codebases to executing long-horizon development workflows.
arXiv:2607. 09065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Software engineering (abbrev.
arXiv:2607. 06101v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI coding agents are rapidly reshaping how software is built, with developers increasingly delegating substantial coding tasks to autonomous agents in pursuit of higher productivity.
arXiv:2607. 06713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are rapidly moving towards closing the development cycle, transitioning from simple assistive companions to autonomous contributors deeply embedded into collaborative development environments.
arXiv:2607. 06074v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt engineering has emerged as a critical yet undertaught skill for software developers, one that traditional learning approaches are ill-equipped to support given its evolving, interactive, and context-dependent nature.
