| 2026 | Beyond Maintenance: A Benchmark and Multi-Agent Framework for Repository-Usage Code GenerationabstractRepository-level code generation has attracted growing interest, yet most benchmarks and methods remain maintainer-centric, emphasizing bug fixing and feature implementation. In contrast, a common yet underexplored scenario is repository usage: external users want to build applications by correctly invoking repository-internal APIs, composing them into runnable end-to-end workflows rather than modifying the codebase. To support this setting, we introduce RUCCE, a benchmark for repository-usage code generation built from real-world Python repositories. Each instance pairs a natural-language usage instruction with grounded target APIs and a verified reference script, enabling evaluation of both API retrieval and repository-usage code generation. Building on RUCCE, we propose RUCACoder, a closed-loop multi-agent framework with a Retriever for hierarchical repository exploration, a Verifier for reranking and validation, and a Coder for feedback-driven script synthesis. Experiments across multiple backbone LLMs show that RUCACoder consistently outperforms strong retrieval and generation baselines.
