Agentic Coding Needs Proactivity, Not Just Autonomy
Researchers propose that coding agents need to move beyond autonomy toward proactivity—the ability to anticipate developer needs, connect signals across tools, and make unsolicited but valuable interventions. The work introduces a taxonomy of proactivity levels and evaluation metrics (Insight Decision Quality, Context Grounding Score, Learning Lift) to measure whether agent behavior genuinely improves development workflows rather than merely increasing activity.
