+ # Debt Behind the AI Boom — Replication Data

23
+ Data for the paper:
24
+
25
+ > **Debt Behind the AI Boom: A Large-Scale Empirical Study of AI-Generated Code in the Wild**
26
+ > Yue Liu, Ratnadira Widyasari, Yanjie Zhao, Ivana Clairine Irsan, Junkai Chen, David Lo
27
+ > 📄 [arXiv:2603.28592](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.28592) · 💻 Code: [github.com/yueyueL/tech-debt-ai-coding](https://github.com/yueyueL/tech-debt-ai-coding)
28
+
29
+ We mined **302.6K AI-authored commits** from **6,299 GitHub repositories** across five
30
+ AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Devin), ran static
31
+ analysis before and after each commit, and tracked whether the introduced issues
32
+ still survive in the codebase today.
33
+
34
+ **Key finding:** 484K issues were introduced; **22.7% still survive at HEAD**, including
35
+ issues introduced more than nine months earlier.
36
+
37
+ > This Hugging Face repository hosts the **data bundles**. All **code** lives on GitHub:

42
+ ## What's in this dataset
43
+
44
+ | File | Size | Uncompressed | What it is |
45
+ |---|---|---|---|
46
+ | `focused_repos.json` | 1.6 MB | — | Manifest of the **6,299 analyzed repositories** (stars, language, AI-commit counts per repo). The authoritative input to the analysis pipeline. |
47
+ | `ai_repos.csv` | 0.55 MB | — | Repo metadata (stars, language, primary AI tool) for the same 6,299 repos. *(Browsable in the Dataset Viewer above.)* |
48
+ | `commits.zip` | 48 MB | ~265 MB | All 6,299 `<repo>_commits.json` files (the AI-authored commit lists). **Input to reproduction Tier 3.** |
49
+ | `results-out.zip` | 978 MB | ~17 GB | Per-repo analyzer output (`debt_metrics.json`, `issue_survival.json`, `lifecycle_metrics.json`, `destiny_metrics.json`, `summary.json` + `debug/`) for all 6,299 repos. **Input to reproduction Tier 2.** |
50
+
51
+ `focused_repos.json` and `ai_repos.csv` are also in the GitHub repo; they are mirrored here so this dataset is self-contained. The two `.zip` bundles are **only** available here.

55
+ ## How to download
56
+
57
+ These files are tracked with Git LFS — use the `huggingface_hub` client so downloads
58
+ are counted and resume automatically if interrupted:
59
+
60
+ ```bash
61
+ pip install -U huggingface_hub
62
+
63
+ # A single bundle
64
+ hf download yueyuel/tech-debt-ai-coding results-out.zip --repo-type dataset --local-dir .
65
+ hf download yueyuel/tech-debt-ai-coding commits.zip --repo-type dataset --local-dir .
66
+
67
+ # Or the entire dataset
68
+ hf download yueyuel/tech-debt-ai-coding --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./tech-debt-data
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ In Python:
72
+
73
+ ```python
74
+ from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
75
+ path = hf_hub_download("yueyuel/tech-debt-ai-coding", "results-out.zip", repo_type="dataset")
76
+ ```

80
+ ## Reproduction tiers
81
+
82
+ The study reproduces at three levels of effort. Full step-by-step commands are in the
83
+ [GitHub README](https://github.com/yueyueL/tech-debt-ai-coding#reproduction-tiers).
84
+
85
+ | Tier | What you do | Time | Disk | Needs |
86
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
87
+ | **T1** | Browse `results/out/aggregate_summary.json` via the dashboard | <1 min | 0 GB | Python 3.10+ (GitHub clone only — no download) |
88
+ | **T2** | Re-aggregate from saved per-repo metrics | ~5 min | ~10 GB | Python 3.10+, `results-out.zip` |
89
+ | **T3** | Re-run the full pipeline from raw commits | days | ~500 GB | Python 3.10+, Pylint, ESLint, Semgrep, git, `commits.zip` |
90
+
91
+ **T2 — re-aggregate:**
92
+ ```bash
93
+ hf download yueyuel/tech-debt-ai-coding results-out.zip --repo-type dataset --local-dir .
94
+ unzip results-out.zip -d results/
95
+ python3 -m src.reporting.aggregate --out-dir results/out
96
+ ```
97
+
98
+ **T3 — full re-run:**
99
+ ```bash
100
+ hf download yueyuel/tech-debt-ai-coding commits.zip --repo-type dataset --local-dir data/
101
+ unzip data/commits.zip -d data/
102
+ # then follow the GitHub README for analyzer setup + batch run
103
+ ```
