What it does

Ase Experiments is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing the evaluation of an ASE (IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering) paper, covering real subject systems, fair runnable tool baselines, task-matched effectiveness metrics, ablations that isolate a learned component, oracle and correctness validation, contamination-aware LLM handling, and provenance for mining.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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 the evaluation of an ASE (IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering) paper
  • Covering real subject systems
  • Fair runnable tool baselines
  • Task-matched effectiveness metrics

Example prompts

  • “/ase-experiments”

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

Ase Experiments loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 513 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

description
Use when designing or auditing the evaluation of an ASE (IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering) paper, covering real subject systems, fair runnable tool baselines, task-matched effectiveness metrics, ablations that isolate a learned component, oracle and correctness validation, contamination-aware LLM handling, and provenance for mining.

ASE Experiments

Match the evidence to the automation's claim. ASE evaluations are judged on whether a tool or technique actually does what it claims on real subjects, compared fairly against the closest runnable automation. This is the axis reviewers weight most, and the one that most often becomes a Revision criterion.

Start from the claim shape

Different automations demand different evidence:

Automation claimEvidence that matchesCommon failure
Detection (bugs, smells, vulnerabilities)Precision/recall/F on real defects with a defined ground truthSynthetic-only defects; unclear ground truth
Generation / synthesis (tests, code, patches)Validity of the produced artifact (compiles, passes, holds the property)Similarity-to-reference proxy instead of validity
RepairVerified behavior change: re-run + oracle; assertion/spec preservation"Plausible patch" without an overfitting check
Localization / rankingRank-based effectiveness on real faults vs. alternativesCherry-picked programs; one metric only
Scalability / performanceReal-system sizes, wall-clock with a fair configToy inputs; unequal baseline budget

Real subject systems

  • Use real software — open-source projects, real bug/defect datasets, real CI logs — not toy programs you constructed to make the tool look good.
  • Report subject provenance: names, versions/commit SHAs, sizes, and the extraction date. Reviewers reproduce from this.
  • Justify subject selection and disclose exclusions; self-selected subjects are the classic external-validity threat.

Fair, runnable tool baselines

  • Compare against the closest runnable automation, configured at an equal, documented budget (time, iterations, tuning, seeds). ASE reviewers routinely rerun or scrutinize baselines.
  • Pin baseline versions/commits and note reimplementation vs. original.
  • If no tool baseline exists, construct a defensible non-trivial baseline (a static rewrite, a random or heuristic variant) rather than comparing only to "nothing."

Ablations that isolate the automation

If a learned or LLM component is involved, run an ablation that removes it and keeps the rest, so the marginal value of the design is visible. This is what defeats the "the model did it, not your technique" objection and keeps the paper ASE-shaped rather than ML-shaped.

Oracles and correctness

  • State the oracle explicitly: how do you know a generated test is meaningful, or a repair is correct? Re-execution, differential testing, formal checks, or human audit — name it.
  • For repair/synthesis, guard against overfitting to the evaluation oracle (e.g., patches that pass the given tests but break behavior): report a held-out or manual correctness check.

Statistics and effect sizes

  • Report effect sizes and dispersion (confidence intervals, non-parametric tests where appropriate), not just point estimates or a single accuracy number.
  • For randomized techniques (search-based, sampling, LLM temperature > 0), report repeated runs with variance and fix/seed the randomness for the artifact.

Contamination-aware LLM handling

  • Record model identifiers and dates; a model updated between runs invalidates comparisons.
  • Consider training-data contamination: benchmarks the model may have seen inflate results — report on held-out or post-cutoff subjects where feasible, and say so.
  • Cache raw model outputs so the artifact reproduces rather than re-samples a live API.

Mining and dataset provenance

  • Pin repository SHAs, the corpus extraction date, query/filter criteria, and any labeling protocol with inter-rater agreement for manually coded data.
  • Version the dataset and describe how to regenerate it; a package that needs live scraping re-samples a moving target.

Evaluation audit checklist

text
[Claim-evidence] each claim -> a matching metric on real subjects (not a proxy)
[Subjects] real, provenance-pinned, selection justified, exclusions disclosed
[Baselines] closest runnable tool, version pinned, equal documented budget
[Ablation] learned/LLM component isolated; marginal value of the design shown
[Oracle] correctness defined; overfitting-to-oracle checked
[Stats] effect sizes + dispersion; repeated runs for randomized methods
[LLM] model IDs/dates recorded; contamination considered; outputs cached
[Repro] provenance pinned; dataset/tool versioned for the artifact

Output format

text
[Automation claim] detection / generation / repair / localization / scalability
[Evidence match] metric(s) that fit the claim, on real subjects
[Baseline fairness] closest tool, budget parity, versions
[Ablation + oracle] learned-component ablation present; correctness oracle stated
[Threats] subject selection / oracle validity / baseline fairness / contamination — bounded how?
