Overview
RecreationWorld is a five-platform framework for studying and improving hybrid computer-use agents that autonomously interleave GUI exploration, implementation with coding tools, and visual verification of their own running artifacts. By framing recreation around a running reference as an executable oracle, it turns open-source applications into scalable, verifiable training experience that transfers beyond recreation, while RecreationBench provides 250 held-out tasks with reference-grounded programmatic and visual evaluation.

Recreation workflow
Each task gives the agent a high-level request, interactive access to a running reference, and both GUI-control and software-development tools. The agent decides when to explore the reference, implement source code, build and launch its candidate, inspect the result, and revise it—forming a recurring explore–implement–verify loop rather than a fixed sequence of stages.

The final candidate is evaluated by a frozen suite of reference-validated programmatic and visual assertions. Scoring depends on observable behavior rather than source-level similarity, so implementations remain free to use different languages, frameworks, and architectures.
RecreationBench Results
Scores are macro-averaged within each platform and then equally weighted across platforms. Average is the unweighted mean of Prog and VLM; estimated costs assume 90% cache reads.

Quickstart
Install uv, then run from the repository root:
uv sync
uv run rb run --help
A scored run also needs a matching frozen task bundle from Hugging Face or ModelScope, a prepared execution environment, and model and judge endpoints. Choose a platform for setup and batch runs:
| Platform | Tasks | Evaluation interface | Setup and run |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ubuntu | 50 | AT-SPI | Linux guide |
| macOS | 50 | AXUIElement | macOS guide |
| Windows | 50 | UI Automation | Windows guide |
| Android | 50 | UiAutomator | Android guide |
| Web | 50 | Browser assertions | Web guide |
The canonical task index is in tasks/.
To verify the checkout, run these offline checks; they do not require benchmark data or credentials:
uv run python scripts/release/smoke_providers.py
uv run python scripts/release/smoke_runtime.py
