Abstract
Large language model (LLM)-based coding agents achieve impressive results on controlled benchmarks yet routinely produce pull requests that real maintainers reject. The root cause is not functional incorrectness but a lack of organicity: generated code ignores project-specific conventions, duplicates functionality already provided by internal APIs, and violates implicit architectural constraints accumulated over years of development. Simply exposing an agent to the latest repository snapshot is not enough: the snapshot reveals the final state of the codebase, but not the repository-specific change patterns by which that state was reached. We introduce Learning to Commit, a framework that closes this gap through Online Repository Memory. Given a repository with a strict chronological split, the agent performs supervised contrastive reflection on earlier commits: it blindly attempts to resolve each historical issue, compares its prediction against the oracle diff, and distils the gap into a continuously growing set of skills-reusable patterns capturing coding style, internal API usage, and architectural invariants. When a new PR description arrives, the agent conditions its generation on these accumulated skills, producing changes grounded in the project's own evolution rather than generic pretraining priors. Evaluation is conducted on genuinely future, merged pull requests that could not have been seen during the skill-building phase, and spans multiple dimensions including functional correctness, code-style consistency, internal API reuse rate, and modified-region plausibility. Experiments on an expert-maintained repository with rich commit history show that Online Repository Memory effectively improves organicity scores on held-out future tasks.

WHY NOW
AI-assisted Coding moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 7.0/10. Production flags indicate code availability.
We introduce Learning to Commit, a framework that closes this gap through Online Repository Memory.
This is the core premise of the paper, stated in the title, abstract, and analysis.
partial
the agent performs supervised contrastive reflection on earlier commits: it blindly attempts to resolve each historical issue, compares its prediction against the oracle diff, and distils the gap into a continuously growing set of skills-reusable patterns
The abstract explicitly describes this method as central to the framework's operation.
partial
Experiments on an expert-maintained repository with rich commit history show that Online Repository Memory effectively improves organicity scores on held-out future tasks.
The abstract states this as a key experimental finding, and the analysis section corroborates the evaluation results.
partial
Evaluation is conducted on genuinely future, merged pull requests that could not have been seen during the skill-building phase, and spans multiple dimensions including functional correctness, code-style consistency, internal API reuse rate, and modified-region plausibility.
The abstract clearly lists these evaluation dimensions, and the analysis section confirms their use.
partial
Sequential learning with full-corpus assignment (seq-all) produces the highest-quality skills: File IoU reaches 80%, trajectory steps are minimised, and pairwise win rate is among the highest.
This is a specific result from the learning mode comparison section, supported by quantitative metrics.
partial
Moreover, significant variations in repository management practices might limit the framework's applicability.
This is explicitly mentioned as a caveat in the provided analysis.
partial
This technology could be productized as an API or integration tool for development platforms like GitHub or GitLab, allowing AI coding assistants to improve their pull request acceptance rates by learning from previous commits.
The 'product_angle' section in the analysis suggests this productization strategy.
