We measure real-world performance of coding agents on software engineering tasks, including cost, token usage, and execution time. We compare how performance changes across agents, models, and execution settings.
Agent READMEs: An Empirical Study of Context Files for Agentic Coding
Agentic coding tools receive goals written in natural language, break them down into specific tasks, and write or execute code with minimal human intervention. Central to this process are agent context files (e.g., AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md) that provide persistent, project-level instructions. In this paper, we conduct the first large-scale empirical study of 2,303 agent context files from 1,925 repositories to characterize their structure, maintenance, and content. We find that these files are not static documentation but complex, difficultto-read artifacts that evolve like configuration code through frequent, small additions. Our content analysis of 16 instruction types shows that developers prioritize functional context, such as test procedures (75.9%), implementation details (70.8%), and architecture (68.1%). We also identify a significant gap: non-functional requirements such as security (14.8%) and performance (14.5%) are rarely specified. These findings indicate that while developers use context files to make agents functional, they provide few guardrails to ensure that agent-written code is secure or performant, highlighting the need for improved tools and practices.

The End of Code Review: Coding Agents Supersede Human Inspection
Code review has been the primary quality gate in software development since Fagan formalised code inspection in 1976. For five decades, having a human examine and comment on a colleague's changes before merge has been a cornerstone practice at organisations of every size. Coding agents are large language model (LLM)-based autonomous systems capable of reading, writing, testing, and repairing software. We argue that coding agents have crossed a threshold of capability at which traditional human code review is no longer a necessary component of a software quality pipeline. Our argument rests on two claims: every stated goal of code review can be served by agents at lower cost and higher throughput; the naive integration in which agents write code and humans remain the mandatory reviewers is a dead end because it neither provides meaningful assurance nor scales with AI-assisted throughput.
