SetupX: Can LLM Agents Learn from Past Failures in Functionality-Correct Code Repository Setup?
The paper introduces SetupX, a framework designed to improve the setup of functionality-correct code repositories by learning from past failures. It addresses challenges faced by existing LLM agents in resolving diverse repository-specific issues. Evaluation results indicate that SetupX significantly outperforms existing solutions, achieving a 92% pass rate in complex multi-repository setups.
- ▪SetupX aims to enhance the configuration of execution environments for code repositories.
- ▪The framework incorporates a Self-Evolving Experience Representation to dynamically transfer verified fixes.
- ▪SetupX achieved a 92% pass rate in evaluations, outperforming the strongest baseline by over 19%.
