What it does

Acl Experiments is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing experiments for an ACL paper, covering tuned LLM baselines, multi-dataset and multilingual evaluation, statistical significance and variance, human evaluation with agreement reporting, contamination and prompt-sensitivity controls, ablations, and error-analysis expectations in NLP reviewing.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Natural language processing and A/B testing. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Auditing experiments for an ACL paper
  • Covering tuned LLM baselines
  • Multi-dataset and multilingual evaluation
  • Statistical significance and variance

Example prompts

  • “/acl-experiments”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Sample failures (100-200) from the strongest configuration.
  2. Induce 4-8 functional error categories; double-annotate a subset and
  3. Report category frequencies for your method vs the best baseline —
  4. Feed the two most persistent categories into Limitations.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Acl Experiments loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 634 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when designing or auditing experiments for an ACL paper, covering tuned LLM baselines, multi-dataset and multilingual evaluation, statistical significance and variance, human evaluation with agreement reporting, contamination and prompt-sensitivity controls, ablations, and error-analysis expectations in NLP reviewing.

ACL Experiments

Use this while the experimental story can still change. The ACL evidence bar is not "beats the baseline once": it is a defensible measurement of a language capability, with the failure modes examined.

Baseline honesty

  • Include the strongest cheap baseline: a well-prompted current LLM has become mandatory context for most tasks — a method beating only pre-LLM systems invites the "does this matter now?" review.
  • Tune baselines with the same care as your method (same search budget, same data); reviewers explicitly probe for asymmetric tuning.
  • Report the trivial baselines (majority class, copy input, retrieval-only) when they contextualize how hard the task actually is.

Evaluation design

  • Breadth must match the claim: a "general" claim needs multiple datasets; a cross-lingual claim needs typologically distinct languages, not three Romance neighbors.
  • Automatic metrics need justification for generation tasks — pair n-gram or embedding metrics with human or LLM-judge evaluation, and validate any LLM-judge against human labels before leaning on it.
  • Fix the evaluation protocol before final runs: dev-set peeking on the test set via repeated submissions is unreportable and unrepairable.

Statistical floor

Result flavorRequired rigor at ACL
Small deltas between systemsSignificance test (bootstrap/permutation) or overlapping-interval honesty
Fine-tuning resultsMultiple seeds; mean and deviation in the table, defined in the caption
Prompted-LLM resultsMultiple prompt paraphrases and/or samples; sensitivity range reported
Human evaluationRaters per item, agreement statistic (e.g., Krippendorff's alpha), pay disclosed
Correlation claims (metrics)Confidence intervals and comparison against existing metric correlations

The Responsible NLP checklist (Section C) asks for descriptive statistics and error bars — an experiment plan that cannot fill Section C truthfully is incomplete by construction.

Contamination and validity controls

  • Reason explicitly about test-set membership in pretraining data: release dates vs model cutoffs, overlap scans, or held-back fresh test items.
  • Watch prompt leakage: few-shot exemplars drawn from the test distribution, instructions embedding label hints.
  • For annotation-based data, quantify label quality before measuring models against it; models are now frequently better than noisy gold labels.

Ablations and the mechanism claim

  • Each component the abstract credits needs an ablation row; each ablation row needs the same variance treatment as the headline number.
  • Prefer ablations that test the explanation (e.g., "gains come from the retrieval step") over combinatorial component sweeps.
  • Scale ablation: if a claim is "method X helps," show it at two model sizes or state the single-scale limitation explicitly.

Error analysis as a deliverable

The distinctive ACL expectation: a quantitative error analysis with named categories.

  1. Sample failures (100-200) from the strongest configuration.
  2. Induce 4-8 functional error categories; double-annotate a subset and report agreement.
  3. Report category frequencies for your method vs the best baseline — where do gains actually come from?
  4. Feed the two most persistent categories into Limitations.

Claim:         <one sentence>
Datasets:      <n, why these, language list>
Baselines:     <incl. tuned LLM baseline + trivial floor>

Human eval:    <items, raters, agreement plan, pay>
Contamination: <audit method>
Ablations:     <component -> table row>
Error analysis:<sample size, category plan>

Common evidence failures seen in ARR reviews

  • Averaging over languages to hide that one language regressed — report the per-language block; reviewers open the appendix table first when a claim says "multilingual."
  • Comparing your tuned method against baseline numbers copied from papers that used different preprocessing or splits.
  • Treating an LLM judge as ground truth without reporting its agreement with humans on a calibration subset.
  • Claiming efficiency without wall-clock, memory, or cost on matched hardware.
  • Running the significance test only on the comparison that wins.
  • Reporting the best seed as the headline and the mean in the appendix — reviewers call this out by name.

When compute is the constraint

  • Pre-register (internally) which single configuration gets the full multi-seed treatment, and make it the headline setting.
  • Use paired designs — same items, both systems — so smaller samples still yield tight comparisons and permutation tests apply cleanly.
  • Prefer breadth at small scale plus depth at one large scale over a thin sweep of everything; state the choice in the setup section.
  • Cache and release intermediate outputs so ablations re-score rather than re-run.
