    Understanding the Rejection of Fixes Generated by Agentic Pull Requests -- Insights from the AIDev Dataset

    Mahmoud Abujadallah, Ali Arabat, Mohammed Sayagh

    cs.SE · cs.AI

    AI coding agents are increasingly used to generate pull requests (PRs) that propose code fixes in software projects. From a first exploration of the AIDev dataset, we find that 46.41\% of the fixes proposed by the agents Copilot, Devin, Cursor, and Claude are rejected. This represents a significant amount of wasted resources that require human reviews, verifications, and running tests and validations for fixes that are merely discarded. Our...

    Toward Instructions-as-Code: Understanding the Impact of Instruction Files on Agentic Pull Requests

    Ali Arabat, Mohammed Sayagh

    cs.SE · cs.AI

    AI-agents (e.g., GitHub Copilot) collaborate as teammates in different software engineering tasks, including code generation proposed through pull requests (Agentic-PRs). For better agent efficiency, developers create instruction files that guide the AI-agents, including how to navigate the project, locate the right components, run tests, respect best practices, and more. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the creation of...

    Mining Architectural Quality Under Agentic AI Adoption: A Causal Study of Java Repositories

    Oliver Aleksander Larsen, Mahyar T. Moghaddam

    cs.SE · cs.AI

    AI coding tools are now used by a majority of developers, and agentic use of these tools has popularized the practice colloquially called "vibe coding". Yet causal evidence on their effect on software architecture is scarce. Prior causal work has measured code-level outcomes (complexity, static analysis warnings); whether such degradation propagates to architecture-level outcomes remains unknown. We mine 151 open-source Java repositories, 74...

    ComAct: Reframing Professional Software Manipulation via COM-as-Action Paradigm

    Jiaxin Ai, Tao Hu, Xuemeng Yang, Shu Zou, Hairong Zhang, Daocheng Fu, Yu Yang, Hongbin Zhou, Nianchen Deng, Pinlong...

    cs.SE · cs.AI · cs.CL · cs.CV

    Existing computer-use agents remain fundamentally limited in professional software manipulation: GUI-based agents suffer from fragile visual grounding and long-horizon error accumulation, while API-basedapproaches struggle with heterogeneous protocols and inaccessible commercial interfaces. In this work,we identify the Component Object Model (COM) as a unified executable abstraction, proposing COM-as-Action: a new paradigm that reframes...
