Context improves AI coding agent instruction-following by 49% (GitHub and paper)
- hank9 4mo agoI’m one of the authors. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.08112 https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.08112 At first, we kind hated AI tools. We’d ask it to build something and we’d get the most generic looking nonsense that we’d ever seen. Over time we learned with everyone else about .md files, context windows, and how to basically “onboard” an agent into a project. The benchmark tries to measure that gap directly. How agents suck until you not only tell them about your code, but also the context around what you’re building.
