ACQUIRE：基于问答的仓库知识获取提升软件问题修复

LLM-based coding agents have significantly advanced automated software issue resolution, yet they remain highly prone to factual errors caused by insufficient repository understanding. Recent methods attempt to mitigate this limitation through pre-repair repository exploration; however, their fix-driven strategies explore repositories without identifying the agent's knowledge gaps, often yielding imprecise context that fails to bridge the underlying understanding deficit. In this paper, we propose ACQUIRE, a QA-driven framework for software issue resolution. Mirroring how experienced developers first comprehend unfamiliar code before attempting a fix, ACQUIRE explicitly acquires repository knowledge prior to repair. The framework decouples knowledge acquisition from patch generation through two stages: in the first stage, a Questioner and an Answerer collaborate to acquire structured repository knowledge, where the Questioner poses targeted questions and the Answerer produces evidence-grounded answers through autonomous exploration; in the second stage, the Resolver leverages the resulting QA knowledge to generate informed patches. By transforming implicit knowledge gaps into explicit, factually reliable understanding, ACQUIRE accelerates knowledge-intensive repair stages and enables more accurate resolution. Experiments on SWE-bench Verified demonstrate that ACQUIRE consistently outperforms representative pre-repair methods, raising Pass@1 by up to 4.4 percentage points with modest additional cost and time.
