SpecMine

A large-scale corpus of Spec-Driven Development (SDD) artifacts mined from public GitHub: the Markdown specifications that AI coding agents turn into code, attributed to the tool that produced them, enriched with repository metadata and full commit history, and, for a subsample of repositories, followed into the pull requests that change them.

This is the per-table Parquet mirror of SpecMine v1.0 (July 2026 snapshot). The citable archive of record (with the MySQL dump, CSV, and spec-text JSONL) is on Zenodo; the schema, loaders, an example notebook, and a 500-repository sample are on GitHub at https://github.com/shyamagarwal13/specmine-official. SpecMine is the dataset for the MSR 2027 Mining Challenge.

Tables (select a config above)

Config	Rows	What it is
spec_files	470,795	broad-census spine (repo object, provenance, tool attribution)
spec_file_commits	780,335	per-file commit history
spec_content_features	468,307	39 structural / requirement-template features per spec
spec_links	2,421,323	traceability index (typed spec→code references)
kiro_files	98,574	Kiro requirements/design/tasks (metadata)
openspec_artifact_files	266,230	OpenSpec proposals/designs/task lists (+ content)
openspec_code_refs	435,401	OpenSpec task→code refs resolved on the git tree
pull_requests	5,992	spec-touching PRs (11 tools unioned, 10 non-empty), tool column
pr_files	348,141	per-file changesets, each file flagged spec/code
repo_trees	73,030	git-tree metadata references resolve against

Spec text is not on Hugging Face; it ships as specs.jsonl.gz in the Zenodo record and joins to spec_files on file_url_sha16.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
prs = load_dataset("USER/specmine", "pull_requests", split="train")

Or read a table directly:

import pandas as pd
prs = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/USER/specmine/data/pull_requests.parquet")
