Abstract

Cross-organizational collaboration is widely regarded as a key promise of SysML-based Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), yet practitioners still face persistent challenges when exchanging and integrating system models. In parallel, Large Language Models (LLMs) raise expectations for AI-assisted model understanding and integration, while reliability and required human oversight continue to pose challenges. This paper reports the results of an online questionnaire survey with 29 MBSE stakeholders involved in cross-organizational collaboration. Respondents rated eight predefined integration challenge categories and six AI-supported task types on five-point Likert scales. The results indicate that stakeholders perceive model integration as a multi-dimensional alignment problem across semantics, behavior, traceability, and exchange interoperability. These perceptions vary by organizational role and frequency of integration involvement. AI is rated highly useful for analysis tasks such as semantic structure analysis and inconsistency detection, and respondents predominantly prefer human-in-the-loop use with mandatory verification. These findings motivate AI support that enhances, rather than replaces, engineering responsibility in SysML-based integration.

Evaluating AGENTS.md: Are Repository-Level Context Files Helpful for Coding Agents?

A widespread practice in software development is to tailor coding agents to repositories using context files, such as AGENTS.md. Although this practice is strongly encouraged by agent developers, there is currently no rigorous investigation into whether such context files are actually effective for real-world tasks. In this work, we study this question and evaluate coding agents' task completion performance in two complementary settings: established SWE-bench tasks from popular repositories, with LLM-generated context files, and a novel collection of issues from repositories containing developer-committed context files. Surprisingly, we find that providing context files does not generally improve task success rates, while increasing inference cost by over 20% on average. This observation holds across different LLMs, coding agents, and for both LLM-generated and developer-committed context files. Specifically, we find that while instructions in the context files are well followed by coding agents, repository overviews, although popular and recommended by model providers, are not helpful. We conclude that while context files are useful for specifying non-standard coding practices, any attempts to improve performance should be rigorously evaluated before deployment.

PlayCoder: Making LLM-Generated GUI Code Playable

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved strong results in code generation, but their ability to generate GUI applications, especially games, remains insufficiently studied. Existing benchmarks mainly evaluate correctness through test cases, which are inadequate for GUI applications because these systems are interactive, event-driven, and require correct state transitions across sequences of user actions. Their evaluation therefore should consider interaction flows and UI logic rather than only pass/fail outcomes. To study this problem, we introduce PlayEval, a repository-aware benchmark built from 43 multilingual GUI applications in Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript. Unlike prior GUI benchmarks that are difficult to adapt to desktop environments, PlayEval covers six major GUI application categories and directly supports code-generation evaluation. We further propose Play@k, a metric that measures whether at least one of *k* generated candidates can be played end-to-end without logical errors. To support reliable evaluation, we develop PlayTester, an LLM-based agent that performs task-oriented GUI playthroughs and detects logic violations automatically. Experiments on 10 state-of-the-art code LLMs show that, despite high compilation rates, they achieve near-zero Play@3, revealing major weaknesses in generating logically correct GUI applications. To address this limitation, we present PlayCoder, a multi-agent, repository-aware framework that generates, evaluates, and iteratively repairs GUI application code in a closed loop. PlayCoder substantially improves both functional correctness and semantic alignment for open-source and closed-source models, reaching up to 38.1% Exec@3 and 20.3% Play@3. Case studies further show that it can uncover silent logic bugs missed by traditional metrics and fix them through targeted edits.

Remember Your Trace: Memory-Guided Long-Horizon Agentic Framework for Consistent and Hierarchical Repository-Level Code Documentation

Automated code documentation is essential for modern software development, providing the contextual grounding that both human developers and coding agents rely on to navigate large codebases. Existing repository-level approaches process components independently, causing redundant retrieval and conflicting descriptions across documents while producing outputs that lack hierarchical structure. Therefore, we propose MemDocAgent, a long-horizon agentic framework that generates documentation within a single, integrated context spanning the entire repository. It combines two components: (i) Dependency-Aware Traversal Guiding that predetermines a traversal order respecting dependency and granularity hierarchies; (ii) Memory-Guided Agentic Interaction, in which the agent interacts with RepoMemory, a shared memory accumulating prior work traces through read, write, and verify operations. Through an in-depth multi-criteria evaluation, MemDocAgent achieves the best performance over both open- and closed-source baselines and demonstrates practical applicability in real software development workflows.
