New SpecMine Corpus Tracks AI-Driven Software Development Artifacts

A new corpus named SpecMine has been released, cataloging artifacts from Spec-Driven Development (SDD) practices. This corpus includes over 470,000 files from more than 73,000 GitHub repositories, with a specific focus on tools like GitHub Spec Kit, OpenSpec, and AWS Kiro. SpecMine also details pull requests and references between specifications and code, offering researchers a large-scale dataset to study software development in the era of AI coding agents. AI

IMPACT Provides a foundational dataset for studying the evolving landscape of AI-assisted software engineering.
