Give Your Coding Agents a Memory You Own

Evaluating AGENTS.md: Are Repository-Level Context Files Helpful for Coding Agents?

arXiv:2602.11988v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A widespread practice in software development is to tailor coding agents to repositories using context files, such as AGENTS.md. Although thi...

Introducing Agents.js: Give tools to your LLMs using JavaScript

Note on 24th September 2026

Simon Willison reflects on his experience with coding agents, noting that while they enable impressive feats, they also complicate software engineering. He emphasizes that fully harnessing their capabilities demands exceptional discipline and deep knowledge. The article highlights the dual nature of coding agents as both powerful tools and challenging additions to development workflows.

Understanding Issues, Causes and Solutions in Open-Source LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems

The paper investigates challenges in open‑source large‑language‑model (LLM) based multi‑agent systems (MAS). By analyzing 944 issues extracted from 21 projects, it finds that orchestration and execution problems are most common, with workflow, tool integration, and memory issues as primary causes. The predominant remedy identified is optimizing workflow, and the study offers empirically grounded implications for improving orchestration, tool integration, and memory mechanisms in LLM‑based MAS.

LLM-as-Code Agentic Programming for Agent Harness

arXiv:2606. 15874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Every major LLM agent framework gives the LLM the role of orchestrator; the model decides what to do next, when to call tools, and when to stop.

A Deterministic Control Plane for LLM Coding Agents

arXiv:2606. 26924v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM coding harnesses grant agents broad file and shell access, yet the configuration layer that steers them -- rules files, agent definitions, IDE-specific markdown -- is largely unmanaged.

LLMs help robots understand vague instructions and focus on key details

To help robots do chores in places like homes and factories, a new approach from MIT uses one language model to clarify users’ instructions, then another to ignore irrelevant info.

From Local LLM to Tool-Using Agent

Using Gemma 4, Ollama, OpenAI Agents SDK, and Tavily MCP to build a lightweight research agent The post From Local LLM to Tool-Using Agent appeared first on Towards Data Science .

Early Adoption of Agentic Coding Tools by GitHub Projects

arXiv:2607. 14037v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic coding tools are increasingly capable of generating and submitting pull requests (PRs) to software projects, introducing new forms of human-agent collaboration in software development.
