What it does

Icml Experiments is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when stress-testing ICML experimental evidence before submission or rebuttal, including strong tuned baselines, mechanism-isolating ablations, seed variance and confidence intervals, compute disclosure, data leakage and split construction, reproducibility, negative results, and fit to ICML soundness, originality, and significance scoring.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 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 Statistics, Load testing and 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

  • Stress-testing ICML experimental evidence before submission
  • Including strong tuned baselines
  • Mechanism-isolating ablations
  • Seed variance and confidence intervals

Example prompts

  • “/icml-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

Icml Experiments loads about 843 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 380 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
~843

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.

ICML Experiments

Use this before submission or rebuttal when the central issue is whether experiments are sound enough for ICML. The question is not just "does it win"; it is whether the evidence supports the ML claim under fair comparison.

Experiment audit

  • Baselines: current, strong, tuned, and correctly implemented.
  • Ablations: isolate mechanism, architecture, objective, data, or optimization change.
  • Variance: report seeds, confidence intervals, standard deviations, or a reason variance is not meaningful.
  • Data: check leakage, split construction, duplication, filtering, licensing, and representative coverage.
  • Compute: disclose hardware, training cost, inference cost, and comparison fairness.
  • Scaling: show whether gains persist across model sizes, datasets, horizons, or domains when that supports the claim.
  • Negative results: use failures to define boundaries rather than hide them.
  • Appendix: put supporting detail there, but keep decisive evidence in the main 8 pages.

Reviewer-pushback patterns and the ICML fix

PushbackWhy it lands at ICMLFix
"Convergence guarantees under assumptions the experiments violate"Theory paper asserts a rate under smoothness or bounded variance, but the deep-learning runs break itState assumptions honestly, add a figure showing the rate holds empirically in-regime, flag where it does not
"Missing strong, tuned baselines"The leaderboard win used an undertuned competitorRe-tune the baseline with matched budget, report the search protocol
"No variance, single seed"One run cannot separate signal from noiseReport seeds with confidence intervals or justify determinism
"Compute not disclosed"ICML expects hardware and training-cost transparencyAdd a compute table and confirm comparison fairness

Worked vignette: optimizer claim audit

A paper claims a new adaptive step-size method beats Adam with a non-convex convergence guarantee. The audit asks: is Adam tuned with the same budget, do the benchmark losses actually satisfy the proof's assumptions, and do gains survive across seeds and model sizes? If the win shrinks under a tuned baseline or the assumptions hold only on toy quadratics, the right move is to narrow the claim to the regime where both theory and experiments agree, rather than overclaim a universal speedup.

Rebuttal-ready result

During response, prefer a small decisive table, corrected baseline, missing ablation, or concise error analysis over a broad new experimental section. ICML gives one discussion round, so a single tuned-baseline row or in-regime variance plot moves a reviewer more than a sprawling new study.
