Idea
A function completion platform that infers coding intent from context to help developers write accurate code faster
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces a three-stage method that first infers coding intent from the surrounding code context before generating functions. It uniquely incorporates interactive refinement with developers to finalize intent, improving accuracy. The approach uses a reasoning-based prompting framework and a large curated dataset with reasoning traces, outperforming prior function completion methods.

Research Paper Overview
Your Coding Intent is Secretly in the Context and You Should Deliberately Infer It Before Completion
Summary
This paper presents a three-stage approach to improve function completion in large codebases by first inferring coding intent from preceding context, then optionally refining this intent interactively with developers, and finally generating the target function based on the finalized intent. The method leverages a reasoning-based prompting framework and a curated dataset of 40,000 examples with intermediate reasoning traces and docstrings, achieving over 20% relative gains in accuracy and execution metrics across multiple LLMs.
