FeatLens: Feature-Guided Dynamic Code Graph Construction and Retrieval for Repository-Level Code Generation
Recent code generation research has moved from isolated function completion toward repository-level generation in existing codebases. To implement a target function correctly, an LLM must identify reusable repository dependencies such as existing functions, APIs, and cross-file definitions. Existing retrieval methods provide such context through code similarity search, persistent whole-repository graphs, or LLM-driven graph exploration, but often incur high graph construction, reasoning, and token costs. Feature-oriented methods offer a natural view of software functionality, yet they mainly support requirement decomposition, planning, or feature editing rather than code dependency retrie...
