What it does

Atc Experiments is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing the evaluation of an ATC (ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference, formerly USENIX ATC) systems paper — matching evidence to the claim with real testbeds, fair baselines, end-to-end plus microbenchmark results, tail-latency and variance reporting, workload realism, and honest cost accounting.

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.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping and End-to-end 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 the evaluation of an ATC (ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference
  • Formerly USENIX ATC) systems paper — matching evidence to the claim with real testbeds
  • End-to-end plus microbenchmark results
  • Tail-latency and variance reporting

Example prompts

  • “/atc-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

Atc Experiments loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 545 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
~1.3k

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 ATC (ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference, formerly USENIX ATC) systems paper — matching evidence to the claim with real testbeds, fair baselines, end-to-end plus microbenchmark results, tail-latency and variance reporting, workload realism, and honest cost accounting.

ATC Experiments

Match the evidence to the claim. ATC is the systems community's implementation-and-measurement venue: reviewers read for measured behavior on a real system, not asymptotics or accuracy on a dataset. In round two, 3-4 reviewers close to your subarea will open the artifact and probe whether the numbers are end-to-end, fair, and honest about cost. Design the evaluation so their first three objections are already answered.

Match evidence to claim shape

If your claim is...The evidence ATC expects
"Faster / lower latency"End-to-end latency including tails (p99/p999) and throughput at a matched operating point, on a described testbed
"Lower overhead / cheaper"The resource cost (CPU, memory, writes, energy) measured, at matched function — not just the headline win
"Scales"Measurements across a real range of load/nodes/cores with the scaling curve and where it bends
"More reliable / correct"Fault-injection or crash/recovery experiments, not just steady-state runs
"Useful in practice" (experience)Production-derived workloads and lessons; what broke and what generalizes

Real testbeds and workloads

  • Describe the testbed so results are reproducible: CPU/NIC/SSD models, core counts, memory, kernel/OS versions, network topology, and any co-location. A result without its testbed is not a systems result.
  • Use realistic workloads. Production-derived traces, standard benchmarks, or documented generators beat hand-picked inputs. State how the workload was obtained and why it is representative; if it is synthetic, justify the parameters.
  • Warm-up and steady state. Say how you handled cold start, warm-up windows, and measurement duration — systems reviewers know where transient effects hide.

Fair baselines

  • Compare against the strongest reasonable alternative, configured well (a strawman baseline is caught immediately). If you tuned your system, tune the baseline.
  • Compare at a matched cost or operating point: same memory budget, same flash-write budget, same load. An unmatched comparison is the classic systems-reviewer objection.
  • If no baseline exists, say so and use the unmodified system or an ablation of your own design as the reference.

End-to-end plus microbenchmarks

ATC reviewers want both:

  • End-to-end results show the contribution matters for the whole system under a real workload.
  • Microbenchmarks isolate the mechanism, attributing the win (or cost) to your design rather than to unrelated system effects. A paper with only end-to-end numbers cannot explain why; one with only microbenchmarks cannot show it matters.

Tails, variance, and honest reporting

  • Report tail latency (p99, often p999), not just means — the tail is where systems pain lives.
  • Report variance across repeated runs (multiple trials, min/max or CIs). A single run is a data point, not a result.
  • Report the cost beside the gain, at the matched operating point (see atc-writing-style). A win with an unstated cost reads as a hidden weakness.
  • State negative or neutral regions honestly — "where the working set fits, our policy neither helps nor hurts" builds more trust than a uniformly rosy curve.

Provenance you cannot reconstruct later

Pin these at collection time — they cannot be recovered at the deadline (see atc-reproducibility):

text
[Hardware]   CPU/NIC/SSD models, core/memory counts, firmware where it matters
[Software]   kernel/OS versions, library and compiler versions, config flags
[Workload]   trace source and date, generator version and seeds, request mix
[Method]     warm-up window, measurement duration, number of runs, aggregation
[Code]       commit SHAs for the system and every baseline

Special cases

  • Concurrency/nondeterminism: report the distribution and the scheduling/affinity settings, not a lucky run.
  • Energy/power claims: name the measurement instrument and boundary (wall vs. component).
  • Security/isolation claims: state the threat model and what the measurement does and does not cover.
  • Experience papers: the "evaluation" is the deployment itself — scale, duration, incidents, and transferable lessons; ATC's Deployed Systems lane values this even without a new mechanism.

Output format

text
[Claim -> evidence] each claim mapped to the experiment that supports it; gaps flagged
[Testbed] hardware/software/workload described enough to reproduce? yes/no
[Baselines] strongest alternative, well-configured, at a matched operating point? yes/no
[Depth] end-to-end AND microbenchmarks present? tails + variance reported?
[Honesty] costs reported beside gains? neutral/negative regions stated?
[Provenance] hardware/software/workload/method/code pinned at collection time? yes/no
