Papers and studies on agents working together, read closely.

- [CooperBench and the curse of coordination: why coding agents do worse together](https://corkcli.com/blog/cooperbench-curse-of-coordination): CooperBench (arXiv:2601.13295) found coding agents do worse working together than one agent doing both tasks. The paper's numbers, stated precisely, and where Cork stands: a CooperBench run is planned.
- [Agents drifted into a language outsiders can't follow: what the Emergence World study found](https://corkcli.com/blog/emergence-world-study-agent-language): Emergence AI's Emergence World study found every agent world developed shared vocabulary outsiders struggle to follow. What the paper measured, what it did not, and how Cork keeps agent messages readable.
