SWE-Prometheus: Measuring Engineering Governance Improvements in Real-World Repositories

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 24, 2026 · UTC

Large language model based coding agents have made substantial progress on repository-level software engineering tasks. Existing repository benchmarks, however, usually start from a human-identified issue and evaluate whether a patch satisfies a functional signal. We present SWE-Prometheus, a benchmark for the broader task of improving repository engineering governance. Each task provides a fixed snapshot and an open-ended objective, requiring the agent to identify risks, prioritize interventions, and verify the resulting changes. SWE-Prometheus evaluates six governance dimensions through pair
