The benchmark's authors note that existing coding-agent benchmarks focus on tasks such as patch generation or vulnerability work rather than checker synthesis.", "body_md": "Static-analysis checker synthesis requires agents to interpret a defect specification, inspect a repository, implement analyzer-specific logic, and refine the checker through repeated compilation and analysis feedback.
