What it does

Acl Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when strengthening reproducibility evidence for an ACL paper reviewed through ACL Rolling Review, covering the Responsible NLP checklist end to end, hyperparameter and compute reporting, prompt and decoding disclosure for LLM experiments, data contamination auditing, variance across runs, and checklist-to-paper consistency.

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 Research & Science, covering Reproducible research and Natural language processing. 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

  • Strengthening reproducibility evidence for an ACL paper reviewed through ACL Rolling Review
  • Covering the Responsible NLP checklist end to end
  • Hyperparameter and compute reporting
  • Prompt and decoding disclosure for LLM experiments

Example prompts

  • “/acl-reproducibility”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Grep the paper for every number that a checklist item claims exists
  2. Check the supplement actually contains what Sections B/C reference.
  3. Confirm Limitations mentions the weaknesses your own experiments exposed;
  4. Re-answer Section E honestly after the final writing pass — late-stage

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 Reproducibility loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 574 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
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 strengthening reproducibility evidence for an ACL paper reviewed through ACL Rolling Review, covering the Responsible NLP checklist end to end, hyperparameter and compute reporting, prompt and decoding disclosure for LLM experiments, data contamination auditing, variance across runs, and checklist-to-paper consistency.

ACL Reproducibility

Use this before an ARR deadline and again at camera-ready. At ACL the reproducibility instrument is the Responsible NLP checklist: it is mandatory, reviewers read it alongside the paper, and ARR policy makes incorrect or misleading checklist content a desk-rejection ground. Treat it as a claims audit, not paperwork.

The checklist as a claims audit

  • Section A: a real Limitations discussion and a risks discussion — reviewers are told honest limitations must not be penalized, so under-disclosing is strictly worse than disclosing.
  • Section B: every dataset and model you used needs citation, version, license, and intended-use consistency (see acl-artifact-evaluation).
  • Section C: computational experiments — parameters, budget, infrastructure, hyperparameter search, and descriptive statistics with error bars.
  • Section D: human annotators/participants — instructions, pay, consent, ethics-board status, demographics where relevant.
  • Section E: AI assistants used in research, coding, or writing.

Every "yes" answer should carry a section/appendix pointer; every "N/A" should survive a hostile reading of the paper.

Reporting floor for the modern NLP paper

Experiment typeMinimum disclosure that survives ACL review
Fine-tuned modelsModel + version, seeds, LR/schedule, epochs, selection criterion, dev-set use, runs count
Prompted LLMsExact prompts, decoding params (temperature, top-p, max tokens), model snapshot date/version, n samples
API-based closed modelsAccess dates, version string, cost/queries, caching strategy, note on irreproducibility risk
Human evaluationInstructions, item counts, raters per item, agreement statistic, pay
New metricsImplementation source, correlation evidence, code in supplement

Contamination and leakage auditing

  • State which evaluation sets could plausibly appear in pretraining corpora and what you did about it: n-gram overlap scans, canary checks, dataset release date vs model cutoff reasoning.
  • For benchmarks you release, record a creation date and content hash so future contamination is auditable.
  • For claimed generalization, verify the test languages/domains genuinely weren't leaked through translation or paraphrase of training data.

Variance discipline

  • Single-run leaderboard deltas are the classic ACL review complaint. Report mean and deviation over multiple seeds or prompt paraphrases, and say in the caption what the interval is.
  • When compute makes many runs impossible, say so, quantify what you could (e.g., variance on the smallest model), and scope claims accordingly — checklist Section C expects the compute budget stated either way.

Consistency sweep before submission

  1. Grep the paper for every number that a checklist item claims exists (error bars, splits, licenses, pay). Missing → fix paper or answer.
  2. Check the supplement actually contains what Sections B/C reference.
  3. Confirm Limitations mentions the weaknesses your own experiments exposed; reviewers notice when the Limitations section dodges the obvious one.
  4. Re-answer Section E honestly after the final writing pass — late-stage AI-assisted rewriting counts.

Degrees of reproducibility to declare

text
turnkey    : one script re-scores released outputs / reruns the pipeline
scripted   : code + configs released; needs GPUs, keys, or gated data
descriptive: enough prose + prompts that a motivated lab could rebuild it
closed     : hinges on private data or deprecated APIs — say so in Limitations

Declare the level you actually achieve. At ACL, releasing model outputs is the cheap trick that upgrades many LLM papers from descriptive to turnkey, because re-scoring needs no compute.

Prompt-disclosure block that satisfies reviewers

A reusable appendix pattern for each prompted experiment:

text
Experiment: Table 3, zero-shot NLI
Model: <name + exact version/snapshot + access date>
Decoding: temperature=0.0, top_p=1.0, max_tokens=16
Prompt (verbatim, incl. whitespace):
  "Premise: {premise}\nHypothesis: {hypothesis}\n
   Answer entailment, neutral, or contradiction:"
Paraphrases: 5 variants (App. D.2); reported number = mean over variants
Post-processing: first-token match, case-insensitive; ties -> neutral
Failures: non-parseable outputs counted as errors (2.3% of calls)

The last two lines — parsing rules and non-parseable handling — are where most "we could not reproduce the number" disputes actually originate.

Cheap wins ranked by effort

  1. Release model outputs alongside code (near-zero cost, enables re-scoring).
  2. Log and report seeds + run counts in every caption while runs are fresh.
  3. Pin dataset versions/commits in the bibliography and README now, not at camera-ready when the version has silently moved.
  4. Write the compute paragraph (GPUs, hours, total runs incl. failed) the week the experiments finish.
  5. Save the exact evaluation-script commit used for headline numbers.

Output format

text
[Checklist status] consistent / gaps found / contradicts paper
[Section-by-section] <A/B/C/D/E: pass or missing items>
[LLM disclosure] <prompts/decoding/version/date status>
