Orchid benchmark shows requirement ambiguity degrades LLM code generation performance across all models, with advanced models hit hardest, and LLMs rarely detect or resolve the ambiguity themselves.
SpecValidator detects lexical vagueness, under-specification, and syntax-formatting defects in LLM code-generation prompts with F1 0.804, outperforming GPT-5-mini and Claude Sonnet 4, and shows that under-specification is the most damaging defect type while richer benchmarks are more resilient.
REA-Coder improves LLM code generation by iteratively aligning requirements with model understanding and verifying outputs against the aligned spec.
