AI coding agent repository benchmark

Implement one bounded feature in an existing repository and pass its acceptance tests.

DIRECT ANSWER

Cursor leads the editorial profile for codebase control; GitHub Copilot remains the mainstream IDE choice; Replit is strongest for browser-to-deployment flow; Lovable is fastest when the job begins as a visual product prototype.

RUN IT YOURSELF

Fixed protocol.

  1. 01Use the same repository snapshot and written acceptance criteria.
  2. 02Allow the agent to inspect only the files it requests.
  3. 03Run the same automated tests and one human code review.
  4. 04Record accepted code, review minutes, retries and regressions.
ACCEPTANCE GATE

What counts as usable.

All stated acceptance tests pass

No unrelated file changes

Security boundaries remain intact

A human reviewer can explain the implementation
