Abstract: Command-line interface (CLI) agents increasingly execute longer-horizon tasks, yet existing benchmarks either assume that user instructions remain fixed throughout execution or evaluate task outcomes without capturing runtime collaboration quality. In this paper, we present REALCLI, a paired benchmark that unifies the evaluation of task execution and human-agent collaboration quality on realistic CLI tasks.

摘要:命令行界面 (CLI) 智能体越来越多地执行长周期任务,然而现有的基准测试要么假设用户指令在执行过程中保持不变,要么在评估任务结果时未能捕捉运行时的协作质量。在本文中,我们提出了 REALCLI,这是一个配对基准测试,旨在统一评估现实 CLI 任务中的任务执行情况与人机协作质量。

To comprehensively measure collaboration, REALCLI builds a five-dimensional framework, operationalized into 22 sub-dimensions and 51 interaction scenario templates. REALCLI provides two modes for paired comparison: REALCLI-EXEC supplies complete specifications upfront, whereas REALCLI-COLLAB introduces a scripted user that delivers progressive information, corrections, constraint revisions, and authorization decisions.

为了全面衡量协作,REALCLI 构建了一个五维框架,并将其细化为 22 个子维度和 51 个交互场景模板。REALCLI 提供了两种配对比较模式:REALCLI-EXEC 在开始时提供完整的规范,而 REALCLI-COLLAB 则引入了一个脚本化用户,用于提供渐进式信息、修正、约束修订和授权决策。

Evaluations reveal profound capability gaps in frontier agents: the best configuration attains an average score of only 49.2%, and when evaluated by the joint collaboration score ($J_{\mathrm{collab}}$), the peak performance reaches merely 37.6%. These results show that task effectiveness diverges sharply from collaboration quality, with models consistently struggling in steerability, trust calibration, and safety boundary management.

评估揭示了前沿智能体在能力上的巨大差距:最佳配置的平均得分仅为 49.2%,而当使用联合协作分数 ($J_{\mathrm{collab}}$) 进行评估时,峰值性能仅达到 37.6%。这些结果表明,任务有效性与协作质量之间存在显著差异,模型在可控性、信任校准和安全边界管理方面始终表现欠佳。
