What it does

Icde Experiments is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing IEEE ICDE experiments for a data-engineering paper: workload realism, tuned baselines, scale curves over single points, throughput and tail-latency with declared variance, mechanism-isolating ablations, cost/loss disclosure, and hardware reporting that satisfies a builder-heavy committee.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Data & Analytics, covering Data pipelines and ETL. 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

  • Auditing IEEE ICDE experiments for a data-engineering paper: workload realism
  • Tuned baselines
  • Scale curves over single points
  • Throughput and tail-latency with declared variance

Example prompts

  • “/icde-experiments”

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

Icde Experiments loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 489 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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 designing or auditing IEEE ICDE experiments for a data-engineering paper: workload realism, tuned baselines, scale curves over single points, throughput and tail-latency with declared variance, mechanism-isolating ablations, cost/loss disclosure, and hardware reporting that satisfies a builder-heavy committee.

ICDE Experiments

Use this before submission when the evaluation is not yet locked. At ICDE, the experiments are where a systems paper is won or lost; a builder-heavy committee reads them adversarially.

Experiment audit

  • Map each performance claim to a figure, table, or measured crossover — no orphan claims.
  • Run tuned baselines, not straw men. Document the tuning budget you gave each competitor; an untuned baseline is the single most common ICDE reject trigger.
  • Prefer curves over points: show behavior across scale factors, data sizes, or contention levels, not one operating point where you happen to win.
  • Report throughput and tail latency with variance — multiple runs, and captions that say whether bars are standard deviations, confidence intervals, or percentiles. A p99 that hides behind a median is a caught omission.
  • Add ablations that isolate the mechanism: turn off the one idea and show the gain disappears, so the improvement cannot be attributed to unrelated engineering.
  • Disclose the cost of every gain: memory, write amplification, CPU, or read-latency penalty. A loss map is a credibility signal, not a weakness.
  • Report hardware, OS, storage device, software versions, dataset construction, and workload generators with seeds so the numbers are reconstructable.

What experiments are for at this venue

  • ICDE experiments exist to establish and isolate a systems effect, not to top a leaderboard. One clean ablation proving the mechanism causes the gain outweighs five more datasets where it merely correlates.
  • The strongest design pairs a synthetic generator you can sweep (to find the crossover and stress the mechanism) with a real workload (to show practical relevance). State where the synthetic regime matches the real one and where it does not.
  • Reviewers check whether the operating regime — data size, concurrency, hardware — is one where the claimed effect should even appear; a cache-resident benchmark cannot support a claim about I/O-bound behavior.

Evidence-burden table

ClaimMatching evidenceReject pattern avoided
"The problem exists"Baseline stalls/degrades on the target workload"Solving a problem nobody has"
"Our mechanism causes the gain"Ablation toggling the one idea"Gain from unrelated engineering"
"It scales"Curve across scale factors, not a single point"Single-point win, unknown scaling"
"The cost is acceptable"Disclosed memory/CPU/latency cost table"Free-lunch claim, hidden trade-off"
"It generalizes"A real workload beside the synthetic sweep"Only synthetic, no real relevance"

Vignette: evaluating a write-optimized index

A paper claims higher ingestion by deferring ordering. The matching plan: sweep the append-to-scan ratio synthetically to locate the crossover, run a real telemetry trace at the claimed rate to show the baseline stalls where the new index does not, ablate the deferral to prove it is the cause, and report the read-latency tail and memory cost so the trade is legible — every panel tied to a claim in the text.

Reporting floor

  • Multiple runs and reported variance for every performance figure; name the metric precisely (throughput, p50/p99 latency, amplification).
  • Report the hardware and the compute actually consumed, not vague feasibility language.
