Minimal Reproducible Example
Domain: Code Generation
🎯 Motivation
The smallest piece of code that still shows the bug. Helps isolate the issue. The model can generate this.
📋 Concrete Example
Original: 500-line file with a bug. MRE: 5 lines that show the same bug. Easier to understand and fix. ‘def f(x): return x[0] # fails when x is empty.’
🔗 Analogy
Trimming a recipe to find the problem - if a cake fails, you simplify: just flour and water. Does it still fail? Yes -> it is the flour. MRE isolates the bug.
