Representative repository task corpus
Mission
Objective
Build and independently audit a minimum versioned suite spanning real coding, documentation, recovery, provenance, security, and cross-file work.
Why this matters
The current documentation-heavy pilots cannot support broad repository-agent or coding-agent claims.
Scope
Included: target population, sampling frame, held-out history, audited synthetic cases, leakage/provenance records, and task-level reporting. Excluded: expanding the suite before each added family changes a decision.
Existing context
research/frontier/records/RFR-004.md, NX-004, and evaluation Workstream A4.
Initial hypotheses
A small audited suite can expose materially different failures across task families. Failure to source genuine coding work falsifies coding-agent scope.
Required evidence
Sampling report, source provenance, task contracts, independent audits, held-out fixtures, coverage rationale, and leakage assessment.
Constraints
Add one family at a time; preserve licensing, privacy, and repository history; report sampling limits before aggregate metrics.
Execution instructions
Start with one independently authored code/automation task, then add only decision-relevant families.
Deliverables
Versioned corpus, task manifest, audit labels, held-out fixtures, and scope decision.
Success criteria
Explicit coverage targets and demonstrated inclusion of genuine coding work.
Stop conditions
Stop when additional families no longer change the intended claim boundary or when provenance/leakage cannot be controlled.
Handoff requirements
Publish the allowed inference scope and stable task versions for downstream comparisons.
