What it does

Chi Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when strengthening research transparency for an ACM CHI paper — protocols, instruments, codebooks, analysis scripts, preregistration, and data availability under human-subjects constraints — so methods survive the ADR-Method screening and others can actually build on the work.

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 Architecture decision records. 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 research transparency for an ACM CHI paper — protocols
  • Analysis scripts
  • Preregistration
  • Data availability under human-subjects constraints — so methods survive the ADR-Method screening and others can actually build on the work

Example prompts

  • “/chi-reproducibility”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Full de-identified dataset in a persistent repository (OSF, institutional archive).
  2. Partial release: quantitative measures public, recordings withheld.
  3. Aggregate data plus instruments and codebook.
  4. No data, documented reason (consent scope, re-identification risk, community

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • pip
    • python

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Chi Reproducibility loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 553 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
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 research transparency for an ACM CHI paper — protocols, instruments, codebooks, analysis scripts, preregistration, and data availability under human-subjects constraints — so methods survive the ADR-Method screening and others can actually build on the work.

CHI Reproducibility

Reproducibility at CHI is not "same script, same numbers." Human-subjects research reproduces at the level of protocol and analysis: could a competent lab run your study again, and could a skeptic re-derive your findings from your materials? CHI's screening now names "research transparency" explicitly inside the ADR-Method assisted desk-reject ground, so opacity is a pre-review rejection risk. The working principle for data: as open as consent allows, as documented as possible where it does not.

Three layers, three different obligations

LayerWhat must be trueTypical artifacts
ProtocolAnother lab could run the studyTask descriptions, scripts read to participants, stimuli, apparatus specs, recruitment text, screening criteria, compensation
AnalysisA skeptic could re-derive results from your dataAnalysis code, codebook + coding decisions, exclusion rules, model specifications, software versions
DataShared where consent permits; described honestly where notDe-identified quantitative data, aggregate tables, transcript excerpts, or a documented reason why not

The protocol layer is the cheapest and the most neglected: your consent scripts, questionnaires, and interview guides already exist — publishing them in the supplement costs an afternoon and answers half of the methods questions reviewers would otherwise raise (chi-supplementary).

Quantitative transparency

  • Ship the analysis pipeline: raw-to-clean transformation, exclusions with counts and reasons, and the exact statistical models. Pin versions (R/Python, packages).
  • Preregistration (OSF, AsPredicted) is increasingly normal for confirmatory CHI studies; during review, link an anonymized view only — a named OSF project is an anonymization violation (chi-submission).
  • Report every measured variable somewhere, including ones that showed nothing; selective reporting discovered later damages more than a null result ever would.
  • Randomization, counterbalancing assignments, and seed-equivalents (trial-order generation) belong in the materials, not in folklore.

Qualitative transparency

Qualitative work cannot ship a replication button; it can ship an audit trail:

  • The interview guide or diary prompts, verbatim, including probes.
  • The codebook where the method uses one — codes, definitions, example excerpts — or, for reflexive approaches, a documented account of how themes developed.
  • Analysis-process notes: who coded, how disagreements were handled, memo samples.
  • Transcript excerpts beyond those quoted in the paper, where consent allows — reviewers increasingly distrust papers whose only visible data is ten quotes.

Data sharing under human-subjects constraints

Never promise what consent cannot deliver. The honest ladder, top rung you can reach:

  1. Full de-identified dataset in a persistent repository (OSF, institutional archive).
  2. Partial release: quantitative measures public, recordings withheld.
  3. Aggregate data plus instruments and codebook.
  4. No data, documented reason (consent scope, re-identification risk, community agreements — common and respected in work with vulnerable populations), plus a contact path for mediated access if any exists.

For AI-infused systems add: model name and version/date, prompts and parameters, and cached model outputs from the study window, because the hosted model your participants used will not exist next year. A CHI study of "the assistant" without a pinned version is unreplicable by construction.

The availability statement

State per artifact class what is available, where, and why not where not:

text
Availability. Study protocol, interview guide, questionnaires, and the full
codebook: <repository DOI>. De-identified quantitative data and analysis
scripts (R 4.4, renv lockfile): same repository. Audio recordings and raw
transcripts are not shared, per the consent agreement; extended anonymized
excerpts appear in the supplement. LLM condition: <model+version>, prompts
and all cached outputs included.

During review this statement appears with anonymized links; at camera-ready it flips to named archives (chi-camera-ready). Write both versions on the same day so the promises match.

Verification before the claim

bash
# The availability statement is a claim; test it like one.
ls protocol/ instruments/ codebook/ data/ analysis/          # inventory vs statement
grep -rEin 'available (upon|on) request' paper/ && echo "WEAK: replace or justify"
python3 -m venv /tmp/repro && /tmp/repro/bin/pip install -r analysis/requirements.txt \
  && /tmp/repro/bin/python analysis/reproduce_tables.py      # cold-start the pipeline
grep -rEil 'participant|P[0-9]+_(name|email)' data/ | head    # de-identification sweep

"Available upon request" earns no credit at CHI — studies of such promises across fields show most requests go unanswered, and reviewers know it. Either deposit the artifact or explain the genuine constraint.

Output format

text
[Protocol layer] complete / gaps: <missing instruments>
[Analysis layer] pipeline runs cold: yes/no · codebook/audit trail: yes/no
[Data rung] 1-4 on the ladder + one-line justification
[Anonymized-review versions] links safe for PCS: yes/no
[ADR-Method exposure] low/med/high — <the opaquest spot in the methods>
[One-day fixes] <cheapest transparency wins available now>
