SummaryPosition paper arguing AI coding agent research should pivot from autonomous task-solving to human-centered collaboration. Proposes four interaction dimensions — task alignment, verifiability, steerability, adaptability — and outlines research directions including user-involved environments and human-agent interaction quality measures.
Why it mattersNames a real evaluation gap: user communication, supervision, and trust in coding agents are understudied, and the four-dimension framework gives researchers and tool builders a concrete structure to work from.
