Evaluating AGENTS.md: are they helpful for coding agents?

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

A widespread practice in software development is to tailor coding agents to repositories using context files, such as AGENTS.md, by either manually or automatically generating them. Although this practice is strongly encouraged by agent developers, there is currently no rigorous investigation into whether such context files are actually effective for real-world tasks. In this work, we study this question and evaluate coding agents' task completion performance in two complementary settings: established SWE-bench tasks from popular repositories, with LLM-generated context files following agent-developer recommendations, and a novel collection of issues from repositories containing developer-committed context files. Across multiple coding agents and LLMs, we find that context files tend to reduce task success rates compared to providing no repository context, while also increasing inference cost by over 20%. Behaviorally, both LLM-generated and developer-provided context files encourage broader exploration (e.g., more thorough testing and file traversal), and coding agents tend to respect their instructions. Ultimately, we conclude that unnecessary requirements from context files make tasks harder, and human-written context files should describe only minimal requirements.

Endlich! 😍 Ich freue mich riesig, euch heute den fertigen Prototypen zeigen zu können. Er ist nicht nur ein echter Hingucker, sondern auch ein Statement für Nachhaltigkeit:
d.h. Holz aus nachhaltiger Forstwirtschaft und Borsten aus 100 % recyceltem PET ♻️

Jetzt brauche ich nur eure Hilfe: Sollten wir damit in Serie gehen? Ich muss intern noch ein wenig Überzeugungsarbeit leisten, damit das farbige PET fest ins Sortiment käme. Und euer Feedback wäre echt mein bestes Argument! ❤️

@codinghorrorJeff Atwood to create an LLM you must first create the internet. Then you must scrape LibGen, StackExchange, Reddit, Wikipedia, etc. using official Meta employee laptops, and comment in official memos about how uncomfortable this makes you feel.

This reminds me of how they excavated a property owned by Ben Franklin and found numerous human corpses. He was likely doing medical experiments, which at the time required paying sketchy dudes to exhume the recently deceased. "Franklinstein" lol.

Très juste texte de @ploum ... 🙁

Moi aussi je pensais que l'informatique et internet rendraient le monde meilleur. Mais une poignée d'entreprises est venu tout gâcher. Elles nous ont confisqué toutes les bonnes choses qu'aurait pu nous apporter la technologie pour leur propre profit. Aujourd'hui l'informatique grand public n'est plus que surveillance et de contrôle. 😓

Remember when people thought “trickle down” economics actually worked? Perhaps if we give a lot more money to the rich it will start working one day, somehow? That seems to be the current plan, but I have another idea: what if we reversed it and used “trickle up” to give money to those most in need? All the data I can find, including our rgmii.org data and studies in progress, all seem to show that this direction works. ⬆️

America’s Richest People Are Not Its Most Generous Only half of the 12 richest people in the United States are on Forbes' list of the 25 biggest givers.

Thinking Hard Burns Almost No Calories—But Destroys Your Next Workout

Your brain uses 20% of your body's energy just idling. Intense thinking barely adds to that. But the mental byproducts of a long cognitive day quietly sabotage your endurance in ways no amount of willpower can fix.

How I’m dealing with the pressure to adopt AI as a designer.
We all feel pressured to keep up with AI as a designer. In an ocean of marketing-induced anxiety about AI, Martin Wright brings some refreshing perspective: “You wouldn't adopt a new approach or tool without being sure it had a positive outcome for your work. AI is no different, and it doesn't get a free pass just because the discourse is louder.”.

‘돈만 벌면 된다’ 윤리 잊은 기자들…‘선행매매’ 사건 총정리 www.mediatoday.co.kr/news/article... "‘기자 선행매매’가 크게 관심을 받게 된 계기는 KBS 송수진 기자의 <[단독] 주식 사고, 기사 쓰고, 주식 팔고…기자 20여명 수사>(2025년 7월4일) 기사다. 해당 기사는 전현직 기자 등 20여 명이 선행매매 혐의로 금융 당국의 수사를 받고 있다고 보도했다. 금융감독원 자본시장특별사법경찰(특사경)이 포착한 혐의를 보도했는데 기자가 무더기로 수사 대상에 올랐기에 큰 충격을 던졌다."

정민경 기자 · 2025년 7월4일 KBS의 보도로 ‘기자 선행매매’ 사건이 본격적으로 수면 위로 드러났다. 언론계에서 기자들의 미공개 정보를 이용한 주식 매매나 호재성 기사를 직접 쓰고 주가를 띄운 후 되파는 ‘선행매매’는 이전부터 포착되어 온 것이 사실이나, 본격적으로 알려지진 않았다. 지난해 KBS의 기사가 나온 이후에도 이를 보도하는 언론사는 극소수였다. 이후 10월 정무위 국정감사에서 한창민 사회민주당 의원이 관련 질의를 한 후 다시 한번 주목을 받았으나 이 역시 기자들의
