    A-JIT: Agentic Just-In-Time Software Construction

    Mark Marron, Earl T. Barr

    cs.SE · cs.AI

    Traditional software delivery assumes a static paradigm: code is constructed prior to execution and deployed as a fixed artifact. We present Agentic Just-In-Time Software Construction (A-JIT), a paradigm that replaces static binaries with dynamic, software systems that can perpetually evolve to meet changing demands. In A-JIT, an application is an integrated assembly comprising code, a runtime harness, and an embedded AI agent that...

    Introducing Consort: A Spec-First Agent Framework for Enforced, Test-Driven Development on Live Database Branches

    Kevin Hartman

    cs.SE · cs.AI · cs.DB

    When an agent writes code, the development framework becomes the control system for a non-deterministic worker. Spec-first, agent-driven frameworks have gained rapid traction since 2025; the installable ones, GitHub Spec Kit, obra/superpowers, BMAD, and GSD, and our own, all capture intent through a specification or durable planning artifacts. Since they agree on capturing intent up front, what separates them is how each enforces the...

    The Vibe Shift in Software Engineering: Evaluating AI-Led Conversational Programming for Performance, Cognition, and Responsible Adoption

    Sales G. Aribe, Louie Jay S. Labastida

    cs.SE · cs.AI · cs.ET

    This study evaluates Vibe Coding, an emerging AI-led conversational programming paradigm that enables developers to generate software through natural-language interaction with large language models. Using a mixed-methods design, the study assessed performance efficiency, cognitive implications, and responsible adoption in comparison with traditional and AI-assisted coding environments. Thirty participants, including professional developers...
