The Role of Agentic Instruction Categories for Code Generation: A Study of Five Python Libraries
Warren Gerald Polandra, Yoshiki Higo, Raula Gaikovina Kula
Agentic coding systems increasingly rely on repository-level agent files, such as AGENTS.md, to communicate project knowledge and developer intent. However, it remains unclear whic…
Agentic Dependency Transformations: Lessons from an Exploratory Case Study of Flask
Kaya Kitada, Yoshiki Higo, Raula Gaikovina Kula
Modern software relies heavily on third-party libraries, requiring maintainers to balance the benefits of reuse against dependency-related maintenance and risk. We define dependenc…
Rethinking SZZ Search Strategies: Lessons from Claude Code
Inase Kondo, Masanari Kondo, Daniel M. German +3
Identifying bug-inducing commits (BICs) is important for studying software bugs and maintaining software, yet the accuracy of existing SZZ methods remains limited. Although various…
Cross-Ecosystem Packages As Multilingual: Prevalence, Architecture, and Health
Xiangxi Li, Olivier Nourry, Yoshiki Higo +1
Modern software development increasingly relies on using multiple programming languages. Some software packages are published to multiple package ecosystems such as NPM for JavaScr…
Why Are Agentic Pull Requests Merged or Rejected? An Empirical Study
Sien Reeve O. Peralta, Fumika Hoshi, Hironori Washizaki +8
AI coding agents increasingly submit pull requests (Agentic-PRs) to open-source repositories, yet their performance is commonly assessed using merge and rejection outcomes alone. W…
A Dataset of Software Bill of Materials for Evaluating SBOM Consumption Tools
Rio Kishimoto, Tetsuya Kanda, Yuki Manabe +3
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is becoming an essential tool for effective software dependency management. An SBOM is a list of components used in software, including details…
