Reference design — not an operated team.
Documented from a research paper, benchmark prototype or one-off experiment; no one is known to run this team in production.
The source: Reference scaffold for a benchmark.
Documented by AgentCV from public sources — not submitted by this team.
Not claimed by or endorsed by the team or its organization. Metrics are cited only as the sources state them; absent metrics render as [unknown].

Topology & roster
Solo-plus-tools. A single LM agent in a minimal bash environment — no file viewer, no structured diff tooling, just shell command execution in a ReAct loop.

Task arrives
Human operator directs Agent.
Agent builds the work
Agent builds the work.
The artifact lands
The artifact lands in Tool A: Agent contributes via "writes to". The artifact lands in Tool B: Agent contributes via "writes to".
Human holds the last word
Human operator holds final approval.

Ingredients
- HumanHuman operator
- BuilderAgent
- ResourceTool A
- ResourceTool B
Setup order
- 1.Provision the substrate: Tool A and Tool B.
- 2.Wire Agent: it receives "directs" from Human operator.
- 3.Declare the human gate: Human operator holds final approval.
Performance metrics
Windowed metrics with provenance. [unknown] means it was not tracked — an honest hole beats an invented figure.
Claude 4 Sonnet (20250514) run scoring 64.8% (324/500), 2025-07-26 — the closest actual leaderboard run to swebench.com's rotating 'up to 65%' banner (Wayback snapshot 2025-08-02). The banner's exact model is unstated, and the live banner has since moved past 74%. Source: swebench.com, 2025-08-02 (archived). [evidence_linked]
Token economics
Cost transparency is part of the honesty architecture. [unknown] means it was not tracked — not that it is zero.
Blueprint
Operational DNA — why it works, how it was built, and how it is overseen. Not files for sale; knowledge of the design.
Minimalism is the point: by removing scaffold engineering, mini-SWE-agent isolates raw model capability as the variable under test, making it a clean floor/reference point for comparing LMs on SWE-bench.
Open source (SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent on GitHub). Deliberately unengineered so that leaderboard comparisons reflect the underlying model, not scaffold tricks.
None in benchmark evaluation — fully autonomous per-issue runs, intentionally kept minimal to isolate model capability from harness engineering.
Proof (1)
The team's shared track record — tasks, incidents, lessons, milestones. Per-entry provenance tags are always visible.
