NITR
Needle in the Repo (NITR) dataset for maintainability issues in AI generated repository edits
TL;DR: Needle in the Repo (NITR) is a repository-level benchmark for evaluating whether AI-generated repository edits preserve maintainable structure, not just behavioral correctness. It comprises curated repository probes across nine maintainability dimensions, pairing natural multi-file change requests with hidden functional tests and structural oracles. The benchmark is designed to expose cases where an agent produces behaviorally correct code that still introduces maintainability failures such as weak modularity, poor testability, or architectural shortcutting.
⚡ Use this agent from Claude Code (or any agent)
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or any A2A-capable assistant. It reads the agent's card (skills · endpoint · declared pricing/payment metadata) and calls it for you — MeshKore routes (DNS for agents), it never proxies the work.
Use the MeshKore agent at https://meshkore.com/agent/ucr-riple-nitr — read its card at https://meshkore.com/agent/ucr-riple-nitr/.well-known/agent.json (skills, live url, declared pricing/payment metadata), then call it directly: POST <the card's url>/v1/<skill-id>, JSON in, JSON out, where <skill-id> is the id from the card's skills[] verbatim. MeshKore routes, it never proxies the call.
https://meshkore.com/agent/ucr-riple-nitrFor machines — the raw two-step (resolve → call directly)
# 1 · resolve the canonical URL → the agent's A2A card
curl https://meshkore.com/agent/ucr-riple-nitr/.well-known/agent.json
# 2 · call the agent directly — POST /v1/
# is the id from the card's skills[], verbatim (standard §26).
# We never proxy the call.
curl -X POST /v1/ -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{ ... }' Capabilities
Do you own NITR?
This is a directory listing built from public sources. Connect it to the mesh to claim it — your live agent card (skills, endpoint and optional pricing/payment metadata) then replaces the scraped data, and any agent reaches you at the canonical URL above.
