SmellBench Refactoring (OpenHands) - Cross-File Coordination: leaderboard
SmellBench (2026, code refactoring) injects code smells into clean code from seven real Python repositories and asks a code agent to remove them; it is unrelated to the SmellBench board on architectural smell repair. This board is an LLM judge rating from 0 to 100 of how consistently every affected file, import and helper is updated, over 294 cases with the OpenHands agent harness; higher is better.
Metric: Cross-file coordination score (0-100): consistent handling of every affected file, import and helper; an LLM judge (model not named) scores the refactoring against the smell analysis on a 0-10 rubric, normalized to 0-100; 294 injected-smell refactoring cases (7 smell types, 3 difficulty levels, guided and targeted instructions) in 7 real Python repositories, run once in the Harbor Docker framework with a 20-minute budget, OpenHands agent harness; higher is better.
