What it does

Dac Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building the reproducibility story for an ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) Research Manuscript, covering pinned EDA benchmark suites and versions (ISPD, EPFL, ISCAS/ITC, TAU, CircuitNet), open-source flow provenance (OpenROAD, ABC, Yosys), PDK/library and tool-version disclosure, seed/variance reporting for stochastic and ML flows, and the anonymized-then-public repository path — absent a formal DAC artifact-badging track.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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

  • Building the reproducibility story for an ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) Research Manuscript
  • Covering pinned EDA benchmark suites and versions (ISPD
  • Open-source flow provenance (OpenROAD
  • PDK/library and tool-version disclosure

Example prompts

  • “/dac-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

Dac Reproducibility loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 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
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 building the reproducibility story for an ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) Research Manuscript, covering pinned EDA benchmark suites and versions (ISPD, EPFL, ISCAS/ITC, TAU, CircuitNet), open-source flow provenance (OpenROAD, ABC, Yosys), PDK/library and tool-version disclosure, seed/variance reporting for stochastic and ML flows, and the anonymized-then-public repository path — absent a formal DAC artifact-badging track.

DAC Reproducibility

Build the reproducibility story into the evaluation, not onto it. DAC does not run a formal, badge-issuing artifact-evaluation track for research manuscripts (待核实 per cycle), so reproducibility at DAC is not a review checkbox — it is what makes your QoR numbers credible to a skeptical EDA reviewer and usable by the community that cites you. The currency is pinned benchmarks, disclosed tool versions, and re-runnable flows.

The EDA reproducibility floor

  • Pin the benchmark suite and version. Name the exact suite (ISPD 2005/2015 contests, the EPFL combinational suite, ISCAS'85/'89, ITC'99, a TAU contest set, CircuitNet/OpenABC-D) and the specific release. "Standard benchmarks" without a version is not reproducible.
  • Disclose the flow and tool versions. State the EDA tools and versions used — open (OpenROAD, ABC, Yosys, KLayout) or commercial — because QoR depends heavily on the flow. If a commercial tool or PDK is under NDA, say which class of tool it is and give what you can.
  • Name the PDK / technology / library. QoR numbers are meaningless without the technology node and standard-cell library context (e.g., an open Nangate/ASAP7 PDK, or a named foundry node under NDA). Report the node and library or the reason you cannot.
  • Report the hardware and runtime. The machine, core count, and memory for every runtime number; a runtime with no hardware context cannot be compared.
  • Pin data provenance for ML-for-EDA. Dataset name and version, the train/test design split, and cached generated data — a model that needs re-generated data or per-design retraining must say so.

Seeds, variance, and stochastic flows

Many EDA flows are stochastic (simulated annealing, partitioning, RL-based placement/routing). A single run is not reproducible evidence:

text
[Seeds]      report the seeds used and fix them where the tool allows
[Runs]       multiple runs; report mean and variance/spread, not a lucky best
[Determinism] note where the flow is nondeterministic (threading, tie-breaking) and how you handled it
[Environment] container or pinned dependency list so a re-runner gets the same tool behavior
Show full SKILL.md (243 more words)Show less

The anonymized-then-public repository path

  • At submission (double-blind): if you link code/data, anonymize it exactly like the PDF — no author/lab names, no personal GitHub, no cluster paths, no vendor fingerprints (../dac-submission). Reviewers may not open it, so it strengthens but cannot rescue the paper.
  • After acceptance: publish the de-anonymized repository, ideally with a DOI-issuing archive (Zenodo/Software Heritage) for a stable citation, an OSI license, and a README that maps each paper claim to the script and benchmark that produce it. This is community goodwill and citation insurance, not a DAC badge.

Claim-to-reproduction mapping

Even without a review requirement, build the mapping that makes your numbers checkable:

Paper claimWhat reproduces it
"X% wirelength on ISPD"The exact ISPD release + your tool version + the run script + seeds
"Y% timing improvement"The design set + PDK/library + STA tool version + the flow script
"ML predicts IR-drop with error E"The dataset version + train/test split + the model checkpoint
"Runs in Z hours at N cells"The hardware spec + the largest-benchmark log

What DAC-specific reproducibility is not

  • It is not an ACM artifact-badging exercise (DAC has no standing badge track); do not design for a badge that does not exist.
  • It is not empirical-SE data availability; DAC evidence is QoR on circuits, so provenance means benchmark/PDK/tool versions and seeds, not human-subject protocols.
  • It is not optional for credibility: an EDA reviewer distrusts a QoR claim that no one else could reproduce, even where no rule compels an artifact.
