What it does

Icra Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when packaging the artifacts behind an ICRA paper — ROS packages, controllers, simulation environments, trained policies, CAD and PCB files, datasets, and trial logs — into something a robotics reviewer or reader can actually run or audit, given that ICRA has no formal artifact-badging track to certify it for you.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • Packaging the artifacts behind an ICRA paper — ROS packages
  • Simulation environments
  • Trained policies
  • CAD and PCB files

Example prompts

  • “/icra-artifact-evaluation”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Review state: anonymized hosting, no org/usernames in URLs, git history
  2. Public state (post-acceptance): real hosting, authors restored, DOI

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:

    • docker
    • git
    • make

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker and git, 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

Icra Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 702 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 packaging the artifacts behind an ICRA paper — ROS packages, controllers, simulation environments, trained policies, CAD and PCB files, datasets, and trial logs — into something a robotics reviewer or reader can actually run or audit, given that ICRA has no formal artifact-badging track to certify it for you.

ICRA Artifact Evaluation

ICRA, unlike several software-systems conferences, has had no standing artifact evaluation committee or badge system in recent cycles (re-check the current year's calls before asserting this to authors — tracks appear and disappear). The absence cuts both ways: nobody will certify your artifact, and nobody will catch its problems before readers do. This skill applies an artifact-evaluator's discipline voluntarily, because in robotics the artifact often is the contribution's proof.

The robotics artifact stack

A robotics paper's artifact is rarely just "the code." Inventory all six layers and decide, per layer, released / partially released / withheld-with-reason:

LayerTypical contentsCommon blocker
Algorithmsplanners, controllers, learning codenone — release
IntegrationROS launch files, configs, calibration"works only on our stack"
Simulationworlds, robot models (URDF/SDF), randomizationthird-party asset licenses
Learned weightstrained policies, perception modelstraining data licensing
Hardware designCAD, PCB, BOM for custom partspatent/commercialization plans
Evidencerosbags, trial videos, session sheetsraw-log size (TB-scale)

A paper whose novelty is a custom end effector but which releases only Python scripts has released the wrong layer. Match the release to the claim.

The five-minute-skeptic standard

Package for a reviewer who gives you five minutes before forming a judgment:

bash
git clone <anonymized-artifact-url> && cd artifact
docker build -t icra-artifact .          # or: ./setup.sh — one command, pinned deps
docker run icra-artifact make figure3    # regenerate a headline result in sim
docker run icra-artifact make table2     # recompute stats from released logs
cat CLAIMS.md                            # claim → command → expected output map
  • The first runnable thing must not require a robot: a simulation reproduction or a log-replay analysis gives the skeptic a win in minutes.
  • CLAIMS.md maps each paper claim to a command and its expected output, and explicitly lists which claims require physical hardware (audit tier — see icra-reproducibility).
  • Pin everything: base image, ROS distro, Python deps, simulator version. "Latest Gazebo" is a bug report generator.

Hardware-dependent artifacts

For layers that need the physical robot:

  • Ship a log-replay mode: the perception and decision stack runs against released rosbags, letting readers verify the pipeline without the arm.
  • Ship the sim twin: the same launch files targeting the simulated platform, clearly marked as not the source of the paper's hardware numbers.
  • Document the hardware interface narrowly (which driver topics/services the stack expects) so ports to other platforms are feasible.
  • For custom mechanisms, releasing CAD + BOM converts "trust our gripper" into "build our gripper"; if commercialization blocks this, say so in the paper rather than staying silent.

Datasets and logs as artifacts

  • Extracted per-trial features plus a representative raw sample beat an undifferentiated terabyte dump; provide a download script with checksums.
  • License explicitly (CC-BY for data, permissive or copyleft choice for code); robotics data with humans in frame needs consent/ethics notes.
  • Long-term hosting: university archives, Zenodo-style DOI services, or IEEE DataPort outlive lab NAS boxes and personal cloud links.

Review-time vs acceptance-time states

Under the double-anonymous policy (2026 cycle onward), the artifact has two lives:

  1. Review state: anonymized hosting, no org/usernames in URLs, git history squashed (history leaks author emails), license file present but copyright-holder line deferred ("held for anonymity").
  2. Public state (post-acceptance): real hosting, authors restored, DOI minted, README linking the IEEE Xplore entry, camera-ready pointing at the permanent URL (coordinate with icra-camera-ready).

Prepare both from the start; converting a name-riddled repo to anonymous form in deadline week always misses something.

Safety as an artifact property

Robotics artifacts can move mass. Before anyone external runs your controller:

  • Ship conservative default limits (velocity, torque, workspace bounds) and make the paper's aggressive settings an explicit opt-in flag.
  • Document the E-stop assumption and any human-proximity constraints in the hardware protocol, not just the lab's tribal knowledge.
  • State firmware/driver versions known to behave; a controller tuned on one firmware can oscillate on another, and that failure lands on your artifact's reputation.

Withholding honestly

Legitimate reasons to withhold layers exist (industrial partners, export controls, safety of a hazardous procedure). The rule is disclosure: state in the paper what is withheld and why, and maximize the released remainder — e.g., withheld weights but released training code and evaluation harness. Undisclosed gaps discovered later cost more reputation than declared ones.

Packaging sequence

  1. Inventory the six layers; mark release state and blockers for each.
  2. Build the Docker/pinned environment; verify make figure3 on a clean machine.
  3. Write CLAIMS.md; separate rerunnable from hardware-audit claims.
  4. Add log-replay mode and sim twin for hardware-bound layers.
  5. Produce the anonymized review state; leak-check URLs, history, metadata.
  6. Stage the public state for acceptance day.
