A 259-Work Survey Defines Agentic Artifact Creation as Stateful Construction With Runtime Verification in the Loop
arXiv 2608.28122 (2026-08-28, cs.MM), the third-most-upvoted paper on HuggingFace Daily Papers today at 44 upvotes, surveys 259 works available through 2026-08-20, comprising 230 systems and 29 benchmarks. It defines agentic artifact creation as stateful construction in which the system materially builds or revises a deliverable and intermediate observations redirect later work, functionally linking an operational representation of the artifact, a construction policy, and runtime verification whose feedback redirects subsequent actions. It compares six artifact families and separates application setting from evaluation practice as independent dimensions, finding construction difficulty tracks how tightly decisions couple, not just the output modality.
