Don't Guess, Just Ask: Evaluating Interactive Requirement Clarification for Repository-Level Software Development

The paper introduces ReqClarifyBench, an interactive benchmark for evaluating how well large language models (LLMs) can clarify vague user intent into clear requirements in repository-level software development. It includes 341 tasks across game, miniapp, and web development, each with a vague intent, a human-validated requirement document, and code evaluation artifacts, and uses LLM-based user simulators with diverse personas. The study evaluates six LLMs on clarification effectiveness and requirement quality, finding that stronger clarification does not always yield better documents, performance varies by persona, and coding-agent harnesses do not improve document quality over base LLMs.

How to Ask the AI: A User Perspective Survey for Large Language Model Prompting

arXiv:2608. 07494v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek, powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), allow users to obtain instant and effective content responses simply by typing requests, such as ``plan a three-day Vienna trip'', ``solve the attached mathematical problem'', ``draft an email to inquire review progress'', etc.

RuBench: A Repository-Level Agentic Coding Benchmark with Natively Authored Russian Task Specifications

Developers increasingly delegate real maintenance work to product-grade coding agents, and many state tasks in their native language, in the style of a customer request rather than a curated English issue. Existing repository-level agentic benchmarks do not measure this setting: their task statements are English by design.

Don't Blame the Large Language Model: How Scaffolding Evolution Shapes Coding Agent Quality

arXiv:2607. 03691v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents, autonomous systems that use large language models (LLMs) to resolve software engineering tasks, rely on agentic scaffolding: a middleware layer in between a developer and a large language model that orchestrates system prompts, tool execution, context management, and iterative reasoning loops.
