CodeScout: Contextual Problem Statement Enhancement for Software Agents

ArXi:2603.05744v1 Announce Type: new Current AI-powered code assistance tools often struggle with poorly-defined problem statements that lack sufficient task context and requirements specification. Recent analysis of software engineering agents reveals that failures on such underspecified requests are highly correlated with longer trajectories involving either over-exploration or repeated attempts at applying the same fix without proper evolution or testing, leading to suboptimal outcomes across software development tasks.
