Abstract

Repository-level code completion benefits from retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). However, controlling cross-file evidence is difficult because chunk utility is often interactiondependent: some snippets help only when paired with complementary context, while others harm decoding when they conflict. We propose REPOSHAPLEY, a coalition-aware context filtering framework supervised by Shapleystyle marginal contributions. Our offline labeling module, ChunkShapley, estimates signed per-chunk effects via teacher-forced probing, feeds them into a lightweight surrogate game that captures saturation and interference, computes exact Shapley values for small retrieval sets, and selects a decoding-optimal coalition through bounded post-verification with the frozen generator. The verified <KEEP> / <DROP> decisions and retrieval triggers are then distilled into a single model via discrete control tokens. Experiments across benchmarks and backbones show that REPOSHAPLEY improves completion quality while reducing harmful context and unnecessary retrieval.
