What it does

Icra Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when hardening an ICRA paper's reproducibility — specifying robot platform, firmware, ROS and driver versions, control rates, and sensor calibration; logging rosbags and seeds; separating what others can rerun (code, sim) from what they can only audit (your hardware trials); and writing honest availability statements.

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.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research and Performance reviews. 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.

  • ROS and driver versions
  • Sensor calibration
  • Logging rosbags and seeds

Example prompts

  • “/icra-reproducibility”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Specification ledger complete in-paper (table above, compressed)?
  2. Every reported number regenerates from logs via one documented command?
  3. Seeds/versions pinned for the deterministic tier; container builds clean?
  4. Hardware protocol written so a stranger could run trial 1 tomorrow?
  5. Release scaffold anonymized; links leak-checked?
  6. Availability statement matches what actually exists today?

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

Icra Reproducibility loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 662 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 hardening an ICRA paper's reproducibility — specifying robot platform, firmware, ROS and driver versions, control rates, and sensor calibration; logging rosbags and seeds; separating what others can rerun (code, sim) from what they can only audit (your hardware trials); and writing honest availability statements.

ICRA Reproducibility

Reproducibility at a robotics conference means something different than at an ML venue: no reader can rerun your hardware trials without your robot, your room, and your objects. The achievable standard is therefore two-tier — rerunnable (code, simulation, analysis) and auditable (hardware evidence logged well enough that a skeptic can verify you did what you claim). ICRA papers earn trust by being explicit about which tier each result sits in.

The specification ledger

A robotics result is unreproducible if the platform is underspecified. The paper (body, since there is no appendix escape) plus released materials should pin:

LayerMust specifyExample of "enough"
Robotmodel, DOF, payload, firmware version"UR5e, PolyScope 5.11"
End effectormodel, mods, wear state if relevant"Robotiq 2F-85, stock pads"
Sensorsmodel, resolution, rate, mounting frame"D435i @ 640×480, 30 Hz, wrist"
Computeon-board vs off-board, GPU, latency path"off-board 3080, 5G-free wired"
MiddlewareROS distro, key package versions"ROS 2 Humble, MoveIt 2.5.4"
Controlloop rates, gains or their source"impedance @ 500 Hz, gains in repo"
Calibrationmethod + residual error"hand-eye via [ref], 1.8 mm RMS"
Objects/scenesidentity, source, dimensions"YCB subset listed in Tab. II"

Standard object sets (YCB and similar) exist precisely so that "graspable household objects" can be a checkable claim; use them or publish the object specs.

Logging: the rosbag is the lab notebook

  • Record every hardware session — including failed ones — with topic-complete rosbags (or vendor-equivalent logs) plus an untouched camera view.
  • One log per trial, named by protocol: trial_<cond>_<idx>_<date>.bag; the analysis pipeline should consume these logs, so paper numbers regenerate from raw data with one command.
  • Keep a session sheet: date, operator, firmware state, anomalies. Two months later, this distinguishes "the gripper was recalibrated between Tables II and III" from unexplainable drift.
  • The video attachment should be cut from these recorded sessions, which guarantees footage corresponds to logged, reported trials.

Determinism where it exists, honesty where it doesn't

Hardware trials are not seed-reproducible — contact, cables, lighting, and thermal drift see to that. Split the claims accordingly:

  • Deterministic tier: training runs, simulation experiments, and analysis scripts get pinned seeds, pinned dependency versions, and containerized environments. State seeds and repetition counts.
  • Stochastic tier: hardware trials get protocol reproducibility — the documented procedure another lab could follow — plus dispersion reporting.
  • Never write "results are fully reproducible" over a hardware table; write "code and simulation reproduce Tables I-II; hardware protocol and logs for Tables III-IV are released for audit."

Anonymize the repository for review under the double-anonymous policy (2026 cycle onward): anonymized hosting or an artifact stripped of names — an org URL is an identity leak (see icra-submission).

Compute and latency reporting

Robotics adds a real-time dimension absent from ML reproducibility norms:

  • Report where each computation ran (on-board CPU/embedded GPU vs off-board workstation) and the link between them; an off-board 3090 over gigabit wire is a materially different system than on-board inference.
  • State end-to-end latency per pipeline stage (sensing → perception → decision → actuation) at least once; "runs in real time" is unverifiable without it.
  • Training compute (GPU-hours, hardware) belongs in the paper for learned components — cheap to report, increasingly expected by review forms.

Availability statement patterns

Honest, specific statements outperform boilerplate promises:

  • "Code, simulation environments, and trial logs: <link> (anonymized for review; public on acceptance)."
  • "The gripper design files are released; the arm is commercial (UR5e)."
  • "Raw rosbags total 1.2 TB; per-trial extracted features and a 40 GB sample are hosted, full logs on request."
  • Avoid: "code will be released upon publication" with nothing at review time — reviewers discount unverifiable promises, and some cycles ask availability questions directly on the review form (verify the current form).

Pre-submission reproducibility pass

  1. Specification ledger complete in-paper (table above, compressed)?
  2. Every reported number regenerates from logs via one documented command?
  3. Seeds/versions pinned for the deterministic tier; container builds clean?
  4. Hardware protocol written so a stranger could run trial 1 tomorrow?
  5. Release scaffold anonymized; links leak-checked?
  6. Availability statement matches what actually exists today?
