What it does

Cav Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when strengthening CAV (Computer Aided Verification) reproducibility, covering benchmark provenance (SV-COMP/SMT-COMP/HWMCC/VNN-COMP set revisions), pinned tool and baseline versions, resource limits and hardware, seeds for randomized/portfolio solvers, checkable proof witnesses/certificates for soundness claims, and consistency between the paper's tables and the artifact.

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. 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 CAV (Computer Aided Verification) reproducibility
  • Covering benchmark provenance (SV-COMP/SMT-COMP/HWMCC/VNN-COMP set revisions)
  • Pinned tool and baseline versions
  • Resource limits and hardware

Example prompts

  • “/cav-reproducibility”

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

Cav Reproducibility loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 588 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
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.

description
Use when strengthening CAV (Computer Aided Verification) reproducibility, covering benchmark provenance (SV-COMP/SMT-COMP/HWMCC/VNN-COMP set revisions), pinned tool and baseline versions, resource limits and hardware, seeds for randomized/portfolio solvers, checkable proof witnesses/certificates for soundness claims, and consistency between the paper's tables and the artifact.

CAV Reproducibility

Use this before submission and again before camera-ready. In computer-aided verification, reproducibility is not a courtesy — a benchmark result is only meaningful relative to a fixed benchmark set, pinned tool versions, and a stated resource budget, and a soundness claim is only credible if it ships a checkable witness. The goal is that a competent reader could rerun your evaluation and re-check your correctness claims and reach your conclusions.

Evidence map

  • Map each theorem, technique claim, and reported benchmark number to a verifiable location — a proof (body or appendix), a script in the artifact, or a table regenerated from logged runs.
  • For techniques, give enough of the algorithm, parameters, and encoding that a reader could re-implement or rerun it.
  • For benchmark evaluations, report the exact benchmark set and revision, the baseline tools and versions, the resource limits (per-instance time and memory), the hardware and core count, and the number of runs.
  • For soundness claims, emit a certificate/witness (unsat proof, DRAT, an SV-COMP-style witness, an Isabelle/Coq script) and an independent checker — a bare "verified" verdict is not reproducible evidence.
  • Keep the paper and the artifact consistent: a number in the PDF that no script regenerates is the contradiction reviewers read as carelessness.

The reproducibility failure modes CAV reviewers know

Claim in the paperWeak answerCAV-ready answer
"Faster than solver X""X was slower in our tests"X vA.B, its documented config, same time/memory limit, same hardware; per-instance data in the artifact
"Solves N hard instances""on standard benchmarks"The named division of set <revision R>, the exact instance list, the fetch/pin in the artifact
"Our result is sound/UNSAT"assertedThe unsat proof + a bundled independent checker that accepts it
"Randomized search finds it"one lucky runFixed seed(s), number of runs, variance reported
"Scales to large designs""large"The size metric and the largest instance run, with the timeout that bounds it

Provenance and configuration pinning

text
[Benchmarks] pin the set + revision (SV-COMP/SMT-COMP/HWMCC/VNN-COMP subset); archive the instance
             list and the fetch script, not just "the standard benchmarks"
[Tools]      record exact versions (yours and every baseline), build flags, and the commit/tag
[Limits]     state per-instance wall-clock and memory limits, core count, and the hardware/CPU
[Randomness] log seeds for portfolio/stochastic components; say what is and is not deterministic
[Witnesses]  ship proof certificates + an independent checker for every soundness/UNSAT claim
[Runs]       state the number of repetitions and how variance/timeouts were handled

Degrees of reproducibility (state the one you achieved)

  • Turnkey: one documented command reruns a benchmark subset and regenerates a table/figure from logged data (and re-checks the witnesses).
  • Scripted: scripts exist but require documented manual steps, a large external benchmark download, or a long (multi-day) full run.
  • Descriptive: prose detailed enough that a competent reader could rebuild the evaluation.

For CAV, aim turnkey for anything a reviewer might rerun quickly (a solver on a small bundled subset, a witness check) and scripted-with-clear-instructions for a full multi-day benchmark sweep. Stating the achieved level honestly beats promising turnkey behavior that fails on a clean machine.

Vignette: a portfolio-solver evaluation

Consider a paper claiming a portfolio SMT technique is faster and stays sound. Its reproducibility spine: the solver pinned to a commit with build flags; each baseline pinned to a released version and its documented configuration; the benchmark division pinned to a revision with an archived instance list; a uniform per-instance time/memory limit and stated hardware; logged seeds and repetition count; a differential check against a trusted solver on all verdicts (no disagreements) plus unsat proofs with a bundled checker; and analysis scripts that turn the logs into the paper's tables — with one honest sentence about the parts (a proprietary hardware benchmark, say) that cannot be shared and why.

Consistency and camera-ready pass

  • Before submission: every benchmark number traces to a logged run in the artifact; every soundness claim has a checkable witness; the artifact is anonymized for Regular/Application categories.
  • Before camera-ready: swap anonymized links for a permanent, DOI-issuing archive, and align the artifact with the AEC badges you are pursuing (cav-artifact-evaluation).
