What it does

Emnlp Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when hardening an EMNLP paper's reproducibility record — answering the Responsible NLP checklist truthfully under desk-reject enforcement, pinning model versions and API snapshot dates, logging decoding parameters and prompts, documenting data licensing and annotation, and reporting compute so another lab could rerun the study.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Natural language processing. 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

  • Hardening an EMNLP papers reproducibility record — answering the Responsible NLP checklist truthfully under desk-reject enforcement
  • Pinning model versions and API snapshot dates
  • Logging decoding parameters and prompts
  • Documenting data licensing and annotation

Example prompts

  • “/emnlp-reproducibility”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Rerunnable — one script per table, pinned environment, seeds fixed; a stranger
  2. Rebuildable — code and data released with documented manual steps.
  3. Documented — closed data or models prevent release, but the paper specifies

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:

    • pip

    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

Emnlp Reproducibility loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 773 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
~1.7k

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.

EMNLP Reproducibility

Use this before submission and again before camera-ready. At EMNLP, reproducibility is not a virtue signal appended to the paper — it is enforced at the gate: the Responsible NLP checklist is filed with every ARR submission, ARR has desk-rejected for incorrect, incomplete, or misleading answers since December 2024, and EMNLP 2025 published the completed checklist as an appendix of the paper itself. Assume your answers become part of the public record.

Checklist as a contract

Answer each section against the frozen PDF, then repair mismatches in whichever direction is honest:

Checklist areaThe honest-answer testFrequent violation
LimitationsDoes §Limitations name real boundaries?Ritual text that admits nothing
Artifacts usedLicense and terms cited for every dataset/model?"Standard benchmark" with no license line
Artifacts createdIntended use and documentation stated?Dataset released as a bare zip
Computational experimentsHyperparameters, budget, infrastructure reported?"Details in code" with no code
Human subjects / annotationInstructions, recruitment, pay, consent reported?Crowdwork treated as free magic

A "yes" the PDF cannot support is now a desk-reject vector — the only checklist strategy is making the paper actually deserve its answers.

The moving-target problem: LLM-era pinning

The reproducibility hazard specific to modern NLP is that the measured object changes under you. Pin everything that can drift:

yaml
# repro-pin.yaml — one block per reported experiment
model: <exact identifier, e.g. open-weights checkpoint hash or API model string>
queried: 2026-04-18 .. 2026-05-02        # API results are dated observations
decoding: {temperature: 0.0, top_p: 1.0, max_tokens: 512, stop: ["\n\n"]}
prompt_file: prompts/nli_zero_shot_v3.txt # verbatim, versioned
data: {name: ..., version: ..., split: test, license: CC-BY-4.0}
seeds: [13, 42, 271, 828, 1729]
hardware: 4x A100-80GB, ~11 GPU-hours total
metric_impl: sacrebleu 2.4.0 / evaluate 0.4.2  # scores differ across implementations

Two entries deserve emphasis. Query dates: an API model result without dates is a claim about a system that no longer exists. Metric implementation: BLEU, ROUGE, and even F1 vary across implementations and preprocessing; name the package and version or the number is not comparable to anyone else's.

Data provenance and annotation records

  • Every corpus: source, version, license, and whether its terms permit your use and redistribution — the checklist asks, and "found on the internet" fails.
  • Every annotation effort: guidelines (released verbatim), annotator recruitment and compensation, agreement statistics, and adjudication procedure. These double as method details — agreement is evidence about the construct, not HR paperwork.
  • Preprocessing is part of the dataset: tokenization, filtering, deduplication, and class balancing decisions all change results; script them, don't prose them.

Release honesty levels

State the level you actually achieve rather than aspirationally overpromising:

  1. Rerunnable — one script per table, pinned environment, seeds fixed; a stranger reproduces the numbers modulo hardware nondeterminism.
  2. Rebuildable — code and data released with documented manual steps.
  3. Documented — closed data or models prevent release, but the paper specifies enough (prompts, configs, dates, metrics) for a faithful reimplementation.

Level 3 with honest reasons outperforms a broken claim of level 1 in review: NLP reviewers do try to run things, and a repository that fails on pip install converts a reproducibility strength into a credibility wound.

Compute and cost reporting

The checklist's computational-experiments section expects infrastructure and budget answers, and the field increasingly reads them as science rather than logistics:

  • Report total compute for the reported experiments and, separately, the rough multiplier for the search that found them — a method needing 40 exploratory runs to hit its configuration is different work to reproduce than one needing 4.
  • For API experiments, report call counts and token volumes; "we evaluated GPT-x on the benchmark" hides a cost that determines who can replicate you.
  • Name the hardware class and wall-clock, not just GPU-hours; memory limits gate reproduction more often than FLOPs.
  • If a result exists because a large training run cannot be repeated (one seed on the big model, five on the small), say so where the result is reported, not only in the checklist.

Cheap habits that pay at review time

  • Emit result tables from logged runs programmatically; hand-transcribed numbers drift from their logs and reviewers who ask for logs notice.
  • Keep a RESULTS.md mapping every number in the paper to a run ID.
  • Store the exact prompt for every reported LLM number at generation time — prompts reconstructed later are fiction with good intentions.
  • When randomness is genuinely irreducible (API nondeterminism), quantify it: repeat a subset of calls and report observed dispersion.

Vignette: the number that could not be regenerated

A submission reports 71.4 F1 for its main configuration. During the response window a reviewer asks for the per-language breakdown; the rerun produces 70.6. The cause is archaeological: the 71.4 came from a notebook using a since-edited prompt file, on a dataset version replaced in April. Nothing was dishonest — and nothing was pinned. The paper now faces a window where every number is suspect. The prevention costs one habit: no result enters the draft except from a logged run with a pinned config, and the log ID rides along in a comment next to the table. Papers built this way answer breakdown requests in an hour and gain credibility from the speed itself.
