# Repobench R Eval

> Evaluates a model's ability to retrieve relevant cross-file code snippets given an in-file context for predicting the next line of code. Use when the user wants to benchmark on RepoBench-R, or asks about evaluating this task. Reports acc@1.

# repobench-r-eval

## What this evaluates

Evaluates a model's ability to retrieve relevant cross-file code snippets given an in-file context for predicting the next line of code.

## Datasets

- **RepoBench-R** — total ?; splits: test (-1)

## Metrics

- `acc@1` **(primary)** — range: [0, 1]
  - Accuracy at top-1 retrieval. 1 if the gold snippet is ranked first, 0 otherwise.
- `acc@3` — range: [0, 1]
  - Accuracy at top-3 retrieval.
- `acc@5` — range: [0, 1]
  - Accuracy at top-5 retrieval.

## Input / output format

**Input**: Cropped in-file code (typically last 3 lines) and a pool of candidate code snippets from other files in the repository.

**Output**: Top-k ranked candidate code snippets.

## Scoring recipe

```python
def score(predictions, gold):
    acc1 = 1.0 if gold in predictions[:1] else 0.0
    acc3 = 1.0 if gold in predictions[:3] else 0.0
    acc5 = 1.0 if gold in predictions[:5] else 0.0
    return acc1, acc3, acc5
```

## Common pitfalls

- Random retrieval baseline requires averaging over 100 runs for stability.
- Cropping m=3 lines is standard but ablation studies show sensitivity to the number of kept lines.
