LLM Code Smells: A Taxonomy and Detection Approach
The paper titled 'LLM Code Smells: A Taxonomy and Detection Approach' discusses the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) in software systems. It presents a taxonomy of nine LLM code smells and introduces a tool called SpecDetect4LLM for their detection. The study found that 73.5% of analyzed systems exhibited LLM code smells, with high detection precision and recall rates.
- ▪The paper consolidates and refines the concept of LLM code smells.
- ▪A static source code analysis tool named SpecDetect4LLM was created for detection.
- ▪The study analyzed 692 open-source software projects, revealing a prevalence of 73.5% for LLM code smells.

However, poor integration of LLM inference in source code can undermine software system quality.
