What it does

Iclr Experiments is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing ICLR experiments, including baselines, ablations, scaling laws, robustness, statistics, benchmarks, human evaluation, and compute reporting. Use when a reviewer questions whether a representation-learning or model gain is real, when you must isolate one mechanism with an ablation, or when preparing a small compute-matched control that can be posted inline during the public discussion period.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 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 Statistics. 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 ICLR experiments
  • Including baselines
  • Human evaluation
  • Compute reporting

Example prompts

  • “/iclr-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

Iclr Experiments loads about 927 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 401 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~927

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 ICLR experiments, including baselines, ablations, scaling laws, robustness, statistics, benchmarks, human evaluation, and compute reporting. Use when a reviewer questions whether a representation-learning or model gain is real, when you must isolate one mechanism with an ablation, or when preparing a small compute-matched control that can be posted inline during the public discussion period.

ICLR Experiments

Use this before submission or during a revision pass to stress-test empirical claims. ICLR experiments should answer the scientific question, not merely assemble a leaderboard.

Experiment audit

  • Match each experiment to a claim in the introduction.
  • Compare against current strong baselines, open-source systems, and the most relevant recent OpenReview/arXiv papers.
  • Add ablations that isolate one mechanism at a time.
  • Report variance across seeds or runs when randomness can change conclusions.
  • Include robustness checks for dataset shift, prompt changes, architecture variants, hyperparameter sensitivity, or compute scale when those affect the claim.
  • State compute budget, hardware, training time, inference cost, and environmental or access limits where relevant.
  • For human evaluation, document task, annotator instructions, aggregation, quality control, and IRB or ethics status when needed.

Reviewer questions to pre-answer

  • Is the baseline tuned fairly?
  • Does the method win because of more compute, data, parameters, or prompt search?
  • Does the effect persist outside the easiest benchmark?
  • Are negative results hidden?
  • Can a reviewer reproduce the headline table from the supplement or artifact?

What ICLR reviewers reward in evidence

ICLR's empirical culture prizes honest ablations and mechanism over leaderboard position. A clean ablation that explains why a representation works often outscores a larger raw number.

Claim typeEvidence that convinces ICLR reviewersCommon reject trigger
New objective helpsAblate the objective with everything else fixedGains confounded with extra tuning
Method scalesSeveral model sizes/tasks with a trendOne large run, no scaling curve
Robust representationTests across shifts, seeds, promptsSingle-seed peak on one benchmark
Beats prior methodTuned, current, open-source baselineStale or under-tuned baseline

Worked vignette

A paper claims a new self-supervised pretext task yields better linear-probe accuracy. Reviewers ask whether the gain is the pretext task or simply longer pretraining. The author audit: hold total pretraining compute fixed, swap only the pretext objective, and report linear-probe accuracy with error bars over five seeds. The compute-matched ablation isolates the mechanism and is small enough to post inline during discussion, where the table becomes part of the permanent public record.

Reviewer-pushback patterns

  • "You win because of more compute." Add a compute-matched control; report FLOPs, not just wall time.
  • "Only one seed." Report mean and spread across seeds; an unstable benchmark needs variance.
  • "Baseline is weak." Cite the baseline's own recommended settings and show you matched them.
  • "Ablation removes two things at once." Split into single-mechanism ablations a reviewer can read.

Output format

[Fairness issue] <compute, tuning, data, prompt, metric>
