Coding agents learn from experience, but that knowledge stays locked in silos. Solve a thousand SWE tasks, and none of that wisdom helps with competitive coding. What if memories could transfer across domains? The work introduces Memory Transfer Learning, a framework where coding agents share a unified memory pool across 6 heterogeneous benchmarks. They test four memory formats ranging from raw execution traces to high-level insights, and find that cross-domain memory improves average performance by 3.7%. Why does it matter? The transferable value isn't task-specific code. It's meta-knowledge: validation routines, structured action workflows, safe interaction patterns with execution environments. Algorithmic strategy transfer accounts for only 5.5% of the gains. The real benefit comes from procedural guidance on how to act, not what to code. Abstraction dictates transferability: high-level insights generalize well, while low-level execution traces often cause negative transfer by anchoring agents to incompatible implementation details.
