arXiv:2609.12742v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coding agents increasingly read repository knowledge from SKILLs --- plain \texttt{.md} files versioned alongside the code.

Key details

  • Recent work synthesizes these files automatically, by optimizing the document against a benchmark.
  • A bare repository comes with no benchmark, and the synthetic tasks prior work builds are small enough that a capable agent saturates them with no document at all.
  • We mine harder tasks --- merged pull requests of the repository, reverted at a single frozen base commit; and score a candidate document by whether the same agent does better with it than without it.
  • On three Kotlin repositories, the documents GEPA finds raise this score by $4.9$pp on average, and the ones SkillOpt finds leave it where it started, $0.1$pp above the seed.

  • We analyze SciLitBench, a corpus of 888 review-automation papers with 14,726 annotations, to characterize changes in methods, review-stage use, evaluation and reported limitations.
  • Automation has shifted toward LLM- and software-facing workflows, including stages that can alter the evidence base.
  • Since 2023, 38.0% of software/product papers reported no evaluation, compared with 9.3% of LLM papers.
  • Reporting coverage increased with LLM workflow complexity, yet 52% of positive-only LLM evaluations still reported an unmet reliability or performance requirement.

Results & evidence

  • arXiv:2609.11559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) and AI-enabled software increasingly participate in systematic-review decisions, yet the information needed to audit these workflows is reported inconsistently.

Limitations / unknowns

  • We analyze SciLitBench, a corpus of 888 review-automation papers with 14,726 annotations, to characterize changes in methods, review-stage use, evaluation and reported limitations.
  • From these patterns, we introduce PRISMA-LLM, an empirically grounded framework separating implementation disclosure from consequence-sensitive evaluation and limitation reporting.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

I have been building Rebuno, an open-source execution runtime for operating AI agents in production.

What's new

Agents submit tool and model calls to Rebuno as steps before executing them.

For each new step, Rebuno evaluates per-agent YAML policies, independently of the model's prompt.

Key details

  • It manages execution state and guardrails across agents built with different frameworks.

    Agents run as HTTP services.

  • Rebuno dispatches work through signed webhooks and keeps execution state in Postgres.
  • Agents submit tool and model calls to Rebuno as steps before executing them.

    For each new step, Rebuno evaluates per-agent YAML policies, independently of the model's prompt.

  • It can allow the call, deny it, or hold it for human approval.

  • No hard numbers surfaced in the source text; treat claims as directional until benchmarks appear.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.
