What it does

Eurosys Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when hardening the reproducibility story of a EuroSys paper — recording hardware and software provenance for every number, taming performance variance with repeated runs and dispersion reporting, versioning workloads and traces, and writing an availability statement that survives both double-blind review and the sysartifacts AEC.

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

  • Hardening the reproducibility story of a EuroSys paper — recording hardware and software provenance for every number
  • Taming performance variance with repeated runs and dispersion reporting
  • Versioning workloads and traces
  • Writing an availability statement that survives both double-blind review and the sysartifacts AEC

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:

    • make

    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

Eurosys Reproducibility loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 628 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
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 hardening the reproducibility story of a EuroSys paper — recording hardware and software provenance for every number, taming performance variance with repeated runs and dispersion reporting, versioning workloads and traces, and writing an availability statement that survives both double-blind review and the sysartifacts AEC.

EuroSys Reproducibility

Use this while experiments are still running — reproducibility retrofitted in deadline week is transcription, not engineering. The venue context: EuroSys papers live on measured performance claims, the community runs a badge-granting artifact evaluation (sysartifacts.github.io), and SIGOPS has publicly digested five years of EuroSys AE lessons (sigops.org blog, 2025; rendered 2026-07-08). A paper whose numbers cannot be regenerated by its own authors three months later fails both review-time scrutiny and post-acceptance AE.

The provenance ledger

Keep one machine-readable record per reported number. Minimum fields:

FieldWhy EuroSys reviewers care
Commit hash of system under test"Which version got 2.1x?" is a real AE question
Baseline name + version + configUntuned-baseline suspicion is the venue's default
Hardware: CPU/RAM/NIC/storage, topologySystems results rarely transfer across boxes
OS/kernel, key library versionsKernel changes move I/O and scheduler numbers
Workload/trace + generator seedTrace provenance is checked, not assumed
Repetitions, warm-up policyDistinguishes measurement from anecdote
Timestamp + raw-output pathLets you rebuild any figure from raw logs

Variance discipline

Single-run numbers are the most common silent reproducibility failure in systems evaluation:

  • Repeat every headline measurement enough times to see its spread; report median plus an explicit dispersion measure (stdev, IQR, or min–max), and say in the caption which one it is.
  • Isolate noise sources you control: pin frequencies, disable turbo where it distorts comparisons, note co-located load, randomize run order across systems so drift does not favor yours.
  • Tail metrics (p99 and beyond) need far more samples than means; state the sample count whenever a tail latency is claimed.
  • When a difference is within run-to-run spread, say so — EuroSys reviewers reward calibrated claims over uniform victory narratives.

Automation floor

The practical bar: any figure regenerates from raw data with one command.

bash
# Layout that keeps figures honest
experiments/
  fig7_throughput/
    run.sh        # executes the sweep, writes results/*.csv with metadata header
    plot.py       # reads results/, emits fig7.pdf — no hand-edited numbers
    results/      # raw outputs, never overwritten, one dir per run timestamp
make fig7         # the only path by which fig7.pdf ever changes

If a plot was ever touched manually, its provenance is broken and the AEC will find the discrepancy before you do.

Availability statement, two audiences

  • Review time (double-blind): describe what exists — "an anonymized repository containing the system, workload generator, and run scripts accompanies the submission" — without leaking the lab's identity through URLs, paths, or commit authors.
  • Camera-ready / AE time: replace with the DOI-backed archive and the badge set being sought. Restricted traces (production data, partner NDAs) need an honest fallback: a synthetic generator calibrated to the trace's published statistics, with the calibration method described.

Restricted evidence, stated honestly

Some EuroSys evidence legitimately cannot ship — production traces under NDA, partner clusters, proprietary workloads. The honest pattern:

  • Name the restriction and its scope precisely ("the ingestion trace from operator X cannot be released; its summary statistics are in Table 3").
  • Ship a calibrated synthetic substitute and the calibration procedure, so external readers can approximate the regime.
  • Keep at least one headline result on fully public inputs; a paper whose every number depends on unreleasable data asks reviewers for faith the venue does not trade in.
  • Never let the availability paragraph imply more openness than the AEC will find; the badge process makes overstatement visible in print.

Pre-deadline reproducibility drill

One week before the paper gate, run the drill on a machine that never ran the experiments:

  1. Clean checkout, environment build from the lockfile alone — record every undocumented step it turns out to need.
  2. Regenerate two figures end to end: one cheap, one expensive.
  3. Diff regenerated numbers against the draft's numbers; investigate any drift beyond the reported dispersion.
  4. Fix the documentation, not just the outcome — the drill's product is the README the AEC will eventually read.

Quick self-test

  1. Can a new student regenerate Figure 7 from a clean checkout in one command?
  2. Does every table cell trace to a raw log file with hardware metadata?
  3. Are repetition counts and dispersion visible for every performance claim?
  4. Would the availability paragraph survive both anonymity and the AEC?
