Reproducibility in the Age of Agentic AI: Context Engineering at the Timescale of a Codebase
On the map: LLM agents and tool use → Web, search, and research agents
Abstract (arXiv)
Reproducible research practices are context engineering for AI coding agents. I argue that agents lower the cost of maintaining tests, commit histories, repository structure, instructions, and decision records while making their benefits immediate. Researchers remain responsible for verifying these artifacts and the scientific judgments they encode.
