arXiv:2606.05646v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have enabled powerful software engineering (SE) agents capable of navigating complex codebases and resolving real-world issues. However, these agents remain fundamentally episodic: they fail to retain, refine, and reuse experiences across tasks, repeatedly reconstructing context from scratch and reproducing similar mistakes. Even with memory support, they offer no remedy for the absence of a principled, task-agnostic \textit{memory utility}, making them difficult to evaluate rigorously or generalize across agents an
The rapid advancement of LLMs has exposed current limitations in agentic software engineering, making memory optimization a critical next frontier for practical application.
Improving LLM agents' ability to learn and retain experience fundamentally enhances their utility across various domains, potentially accelerating software development and reducing errors.
LLM-powered software agents will move beyond episodic task execution towards a more continuous, learning, and self-improving paradigm.
