StagedWorkspace: A Versioned Workspace for Knowledge-Work Agents
The paper argues that agent workspaces need explicit version contracts between parsed views, native files, diffs, and submitted artifacts.
StagedWorkspace ties parsed records and review diffs to content hashes of the native files as they change. In fixed-harness ablations, dual parsed/native access outperformed single-view setups across the tested models on OfficeQA Pro and APEX-Agents. The reported SW-AGENT results beat published same-model scores on both benchmarks. A smaller file-editing ablation also found higher observed scores when agents could see diffs.
