CrossSWE: Benchmarking Cross-Repository Joint Development for Coding Agents

CrossSWE benchmark tests the cross-repository consistency of large language models in cross-repository collaborative software development, including 171 instances, covering 165 repositories, 20 technical fields, and 13 programming languages. The evaluation shows that the strongest GPT-6.1 Sol only achieves 58.48% Pass@1, with cross-repository inconsistency being the main failure mode.

Abstract
CrossSWE introduces a multi-repository benchmark showing that current LLMs struggle with cross-repository consistency during joint software development.
As coding agents achieve increasingly high success rates on software engineering benchmarks, recent efforts have sought to increase task complexity through longer horizons and more extensive code modifications. However, real-world software development often spans multiple interdependent repositories, introducing additional challenges in dependency reasoning, change propagation, and interface consistency. Rather than further increasing complexity within individual repositories, we introduce CrossSWE, a benchmark for cross-repository joint development comprising 171 real-world instances spanning 165 repositories, 20 technical domains, and 13 programming languages. CrossSWE verifies the necessity of coordinated changes by testing whether partial repository modifications are insufficient to achieve the intended behavior. Our evaluation of five LLMs reveals substantial challenges, with the strongest model, GPT-6.1 Sol, achieving only 58.48% Pass@1. Furthermore, cross-repository inconsistencies emerge as the most prevalent failure mode (44.2%), highlighting the difficulty of maintaining consistency across interdependent repositories.
