SWE-Exp: Experience-Driven Software Issue Resolution
SWE-Exp addresses a critical limitation in LLM-based software agents: they lack memory between tasks, treating each bug independently. This framework systematically extracts and reuses experience from prior repairs, enabling agents to learn progressively and achieve state-of-the-art performance on real-world software engineering tasks.
Core Concept
The key insight is that software bugs often share patterns across issues—similar code structures, failure modes, and repair strategies. Rather than solving each independently, SWE-Exp:
Distills experience from successful and failed repair attemptsOrganizes experience at multiple abstraction levels (problem type, code patterns, specific fixes)Retrieves relevant experience when encountering new issuesApplies learned strategies to new problems with task-specific adaptation
This achieves 73.0% resolution on SWE-Bench Verified, demonstrating the power of accumulated expertise.
Architecture Overview
The framework consists of:
Trajectory Recorder : Captures complete agent execution pathsExperience Extractor : Distills key insights from trajectories (at high, medium, low levels)Multi-Level Experience Bank : Organizes knowledge by abstraction levelExperience Retriever : Finds relevant prior experience for new issuesAdaptive Application : Applies learned experience while handling task-specific differencesFeedback Loop : Updates experience bank based on success/failure
Implementation Steps
Step 1: Record and parse agent trajectories
Capture complete execution traces from repair attempts:
from typing import List , Dict , Any , Tuple
from dataclasses import dataclass
import json
from datetime import datetime
@dataclass
class ActionStep :
"""Single step in agent trajectory"""

'problem'
self
'steps'
'type'
'target'
'content'
200
'outcome'
for
in
self
'status'
self
'tests'
self
This creates a detailed record of the agent's problem-solving process.
Step 2: Extract experience at multiple abstraction levels
Distill trajectories into reusable patterns at different levels:
class ExperienceExtractor :
"""Distills experience from trajectories at multiple levels"""
def __init__ (self ):
self .high_level_patterns = {}
self .mid_level_patterns = {}
self .low_level_patterns = {}
def extract_high_level_strategy (self, trajectory: TrajectoryRecord ) -> Dict :
"""
Extract high-level problem-solving strategy.
Identifies: problem classification, overall approach, key decisions
"""
problem = trajectory.initial_problem
problem_type = self ._classify_problem(problem)
approach_sequence = []
for step in trajectory.steps:
if step.action_type in ['run_command' , 'test' ]:
if step.outcome == 'success' :
approach_sequence.append(step.action_type)
decisions = self ._extract_decisions(trajectory)
return {
'problem_type' : problem_type,
'approach' : approach_sequence,
'key_decisions' : decisions,
'success' : trajectory.final_status == 'resolved'
}
def extract_mid_level_pattern (self, trajectory: TrajectoryRecord ) -> List [Dict ]:
"""
Extract medium-level code patterns and fixes.
Identifies: file types modified, code patterns, repair techniques
"""
patterns = []
for step in trajectory.steps:
if step.action_type == 'edit' :
pattern = {
'file' : step.target,
'file_type' : self ._get_file_type(step.target),
'action' : self ._parse_edit_action(step.content),
'outcome' : step.outcome
}
patterns.append(pattern)
return patterns
def extract_low_level_fix (self, trajectory: TrajectoryRecord ) -> List [Dict ]:
"""
Extract specific low-level changes and their effects.
Identifies: exact modifications, test responses, error corrections

fixes = []
for i, step in enumerate (trajectory.steps):
if step.action_type == 'edit' :
subsequent_tests = [
s for s in trajectory.steps[i+1 :i+5 ]
if s.action_type == 'test'
]
fix = {
'change' : step.content[:500 ],
'file' : step.target,
'test_impact' : [
{
'test' : t.target,
'result' : t.outcome
}
for t in subsequent_tests
]
}
fixes.append(fix)
return fixes
def _classify_problem (self, problem: str ) -> str :
"""Classify bug type: logic error, syntax, missing feature, etc."""
keywords = {
'syntax' : ['SyntaxError' , 'IndentationError' , 'TypeError' ],
'logic' : ['assert' , 'expected' , 'got' , 'incorrect' ],
'import' : ['ImportError' , 'ModuleNotFoundError' , 'cannot import' ],
'missing' : ['AttributeError' , 'NameError' , 'not defined' ]
}
for category, keywords_list in keywords.items():
if any (kw in problem for kw in keywords_list):
return category
return 'unknown'
def _extract_decisions (self, trajectory: TrajectoryRecord ) -> List [str ]:
"""Extract key decision points in trajectory"""
decisions = []
for i, step in enumerate (trajectory.steps):
if step.outcome == 'error' and i + 1 < len (trajectory.steps):
next_step = trajectory.steps[i + 1 ]
if next_step.action_type != step.action_type:
decisions.append(
f"Error in {step.action_type} → Tried {next_step.action_type} "
)
return decisions
def _get_file_type (self, filepath: str ) -> str :
"""Extract file extension"""
return filepath.split('.' )[-1 ] if '.' in filepath else 'unknown'
def _parse_edit_action (self, content: str ) -> str :
"""Simplify edit content to action description"""
lines = content.split('\n' )
return f"{len (lines)} lines changed"
This creates a three-level experience hierarchy from fine to coarse.
Step 3: Implement multi-level experience bank
Store and organize extracted experience:
from collections import defaultdict
class ExperienceBank :
"""Stores experience at multiple abstraction levels"""
def __init__ (self ):
self .high_level = defaultdict(list )
self .mid_level = defaultdict(list )
self .low_level = []
self .problem_type_index = defaultdict(list )
def add_experience (self, trajectory: TrajectoryRecord,
extractor: ExperienceExtractor ):
"""Add extracted experience from trajectory to bank"""
high_exp = extractor.extract_high_level_strategy(trajectory)
problem_type = high_exp['problem_type' ]
self .high_level[problem_type].append(high_exp)
self .problem_type_index[problem_type].append(trajectory.issue_id)
mid_exps = extractor.extract_mid_level_pattern(trajectory)
for mid_exp in mid_exps:
pattern_key = (mid_exp['file_type' ], mid_exp['action' ])
self .mid_level[pattern_key].append(mid_exp)
low_exps = extractor.extract_low_level_fix(trajectory)
self .low_level.extend(low_exps)
def get_relevant_high_level (self, problem_type: str ,
k: int = 3 ) -> List [Dict ]:
"""Retrieve high-level strategies for problem type"""
strategies = self .high_level.get(problem_type, [])
sorted_strategies = sorted (
strategies,
key=lambda s: 1.0 if s['success' ] else 0.0 ,
reverse=True
)
return sorted_strategies[:k]
def get_relevant_mid_level (self, file_type: str , k: int = 5 ) -> List [Dict ]:
"""Retrieve mid-level patterns for file type"""
patterns = []
for (ftype, action), pattern_list in self .mid_level.items():
if ftype == file_type:
patterns.extend(pattern_list)
return patterns[:k]
def get_successful_low_level_fixes (self, k: int = 10 ) -> List [Dict ]:
"""Retrieve low-level fixes that worked"""
successful = [f for f in self .low_level if f['test_impact' ]]
return successful[:k]
def get_statistics (self ) -> Dict :
"""Get experience bank statistics"""
return {
'problem_types' : len (self .high_level),
'total_strategies' : sum (len (v) for v in self .high_level.values()),
'patterns' : len (self .mid_level),
'specific_fixes' : len (self .low_level)
}
This enables organized retrieval of experience at appropriate abstraction levels.
Step 4: Implement experience-aware agent prompting
Use retrieved experience to guide new repair attempts:
class ExperienceAwareAgent :
"""Software agent that leverages experience bank"""
def __init__ (self, llm, experience_bank: ExperienceBank ):
self .llm = llm
self .experience_bank = experience_bank
self .recorder = TrajectoryRecorder()
def plan_repair (self, issue: Dict ) -> str :
"""Generate repair plan informed by experience"""
problem = issue['description' ]
repo = issue['repo' ]
problem_type = self ._classify(problem)
relevant_strategies = self .experience_bank.get_relevant_high_level(
problem_type, k=3
)
prompt = f"""You are fixing a bug in repository {repo} .
Issue: {problem}
Based on similar issues resolved before:
"""
for i, strategy in enumerate (relevant_strategies, 1 ):
prompt += f"\nApproach {i} : {strategy['approach' ]} "
if strategy['key_decisions' ]:
prompt += f"\nKey decisions: {strategy['key_decisions' ]} "
prompt += """\n
Analyze the issue and generate a step-by-step repair plan. Consider the strategies above but adapt to the specific issue."""
plan = self .llm.generate(prompt, max_tokens=1000 )
return plan
def execute_repair_step (self, step: str , target_file: str = None ) -> Tuple [bool , str ]:
"""
Execute a single repair step and record it.
Args:
step: Description or command for repair action
target_file: File being modified
Returns:
(success, output/error_message)
"""
action_type, content = self ._parse_step(step)
self .recorder.record_action(action_type, target_file or 'unknown' , content)
success, output = self ._execute_action(action_type, content, target_file)
self .recorder.record_action(action_type, target_file, content,
outcome='success' if success else 'error' )
return success, output
def _classify (self, problem: str ) -> str :
"""Simple problem classification"""
if 'ImportError' in problem or 'ModuleNotFoundError' in problem:
return 'import'
elif 'AssertionError' in problem:
return 'logic'
elif 'AttributeError' in problem:
return 'missing'
else :
return 'unknown'
def _parse_step (self, step: str ) -> Tuple [str , str ]:
"""Parse action from generated step"""
if step.startswith('Edit' ):
return 'edit' , step[5 :]
elif step.startswith('Run' ):
return 'test' , step[4 :]
else :
return 'search' , step
def _execute_action (self, action_type: str , content: str ,
target: str ) -> Tuple [bool , str ]:
"""Execute action (simplified; real version would interact with filesystem)"""
return True , "Action executed"
def repair_issue (self, issue: Dict ) -> bool :
"""
Full repair workflow: plan, execute, learn.
Returns:
True if issue resolved, False otherwise
"""
self .recorder.start_trajectory(issue['id' ], issue['repo' ], issue['description' ])
plan = self .plan_repair(issue)
for step in plan.split('\n' ):
if step.strip():
success, output = self .execute_repair_step(step)
if not success and 'test' in step.lower():
self .recorder.record_test_result(step, False )
resolved = self ._verify_resolution(issue)
self .recorder.finalize_trajectory(
'resolved' if resolved else 'failed'
)
return resolved
def _verify_resolution (self, issue: Dict ) -> bool :
"""Check if issue is resolved"""
return True
This enables agents to leverage accumulated experience when planning repairs.
Step 5: Implement feedback loop for experience refinement
Update experience bank based on outcomes:
class ExperienceLearner :
"""Continuously refines experience bank"""
def __init__ (self, experience_bank: ExperienceBank ):
self .experience_bank = experience_bank
self .success_log = []
self .failure_log = []
def process_outcome (self, trajectory: TrajectoryRecord,
agent: ExperienceAwareAgent,
extractor: ExperienceExtractor ):
"""
Process trajectory outcome and update experience.
Args:
trajectory: Completed repair attempt
agent: Agent that performed repair
extractor: Experience extractor
"""
if trajectory.final_status == 'resolved' :
self .success_log.append(trajectory)
else :
self .failure_log.append(trajectory)
self .experience_bank.add_experience(trajectory, extractor)
self ._update_strategy_success_rates()
def _update_strategy_success_rates (self ):
"""Compute success rates for each strategy"""
for problem_type in self .experience_bank.high_level:
strategies = self .experience_bank.high_level[problem_type]
successful_count = sum (1 for s in strategies if s['success' ])
success_rate = successful_count / len (strategies) if strategies else 0
for strategy in strategies:
strategy['confidence' ] = success_rate
def get_learning_summary (self ) -> Dict :
"""Summarize learning progress"""
return {
'successes' : len (self .success_log),
'failures' : len (self .failure_log),
'success_rate' : (len (self .success_log) /
(len (self .success_log) + len (self .failure_log) + 1e-8 )),
'bank_stats' : self .experience_bank.get_statistics()
}
This creates a continuous learning loop that improves the agent over time.
