What it does

Icse Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when preparing an artifact for the ICSE Artifact Evaluation track after paper acceptance, covering the ACM badge system (Available, Reusable, Results Reproduced/Replicated), evaluator-proof packaging, archival requirements, open licensing, and the January-window timeline anchored to recent cycles.

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

  • Preparing an artifact for the ICSE Artifact Evaluation track after paper acceptance
  • Covering the ACM badge system (Available
  • Results Reproduced/Replicated)
  • Evaluator-proof packaging

Example prompts

  • “/icse-artifact-evaluation”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. De-anonymize deliberately — restore names, affiliations, the real
  2. Archive with a DOI — deposit in a DOI-issuing archive (Zenodo-class,
  3. License openly — the ICSE AE guidance encourages open-source licenses
  4. Write for the evaluator's clock — a stranger, on their own machine,
  5. Document for reuse, not just replay — the Reusable bar is repurposing

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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Icse Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 739 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
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.

ICSE Artifact Evaluation

ICSE's artifact track is a post-acceptance, opt-in evaluation: once the paper is in, you submit the artifact to a separate committee that awards ACM- standard badges printed on the published paper. It is the formal payoff of the verifiability work done at review time — if icse-reproducibility was followed, this skill is mostly packaging and paperwork.

The badge system, as ICSE runs it

Verified against the ICSE 2026 artifact-evaluation track (read 2026-07-08; ICSE follows the ACM artifact review and badging standard):

BadgeWho appliesWhat evaluators check
Artifacts AvailableAuthors of papers accepted to Research, SEIP, NIER, SEIS, Doctoral Symposium, DemonstrationsArtifact is permanently archived in a public, DOI-issuing repository — not a personal GitHub, which can be deleted or rewritten
Artifacts Reusable (Evaluated)Same tracksQuality "significantly exceeds minimal functionality": careful documentation, structure that supports reuse and repurposing by others
Results Reproduced / ReplicatedAuthors of prior published SE workIndependent obtainment of the paper's results, per the ACM definitions

Two structural notes. First, Available is about archival, Reusable about quality — a beautifully engineered artifact on a transient URL fails the first, a DOI'd tarball nobody can run fails the second; aim for both. Second, the Reproduced/Replicated badges are a lane for already-published work, which is also how your artifact gets used: build it expecting a stranger to attempt exactly that next year.

Timeline anchor

ICSE 2026 ran artifact registration on January 8 and submission on January 15, 2026 — weeks after final paper decisions (December 18 in the 2027-cycle calendar) and months before the conference. The 2027 dates were unposted at check time (待核实 at the ICSE 2027 artifact-evaluation page). Planning consequence: the artifact deadline lands in the first working days of January, so the package must be effectively done before the holidays.

From review package to badge submission

The anonymized review-time package needs five upgrades:

  1. De-anonymize deliberately — restore names, affiliations, the real license holder, and the citation file; re-point links from the anonymizing host to the permanent home.
  2. Archive with a DOI — deposit in a DOI-issuing archive (Zenodo-class, institutional repository); record the DOI in the paper's availability statement before the camera-ready freezes (icse-camera-ready).
  3. License openly — the ICSE AE guidance encourages open-source licenses (MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL) for code and open-data licenses (CC-BY, CC0) for data; a package with no license is legally unusable and evaluators notice.
  4. Write for the evaluator's clock — a stranger, on their own machine, with a review load. Provide a container or exact environment recipe, a smoke test in minutes, and the full runs' costs stated honestly up front.
  5. Document for reuse, not just replay — the Reusable bar is repurposing: how to run on new subjects, extend the benchmark, or swap the model — one section each in the README.

The evaluator-proof README

markdown
# Artifact for "<paper title>" (ICSE 20XX, paper #NNN)

## Claims supported
Table 3 (RQ1), Fig. 5 (RQ2) fully reproducible below.
Table 6 requires 40 GPU-hours; cached outputs + verification script provided.

## Kick the tires (10 min, laptop)
docker load < artifact.tar && ./smoke_test.sh   # expected output shown below

## Full reproduction
./reproduce_all.sh   # ~6 h CPU; per-table scripts listed in scripts/

## Reusing beyond the paper
- New subject program: docs/add_subject.md
- Different model backend: docs/swap_model.md

## Requirements / License / Citation

The claims-supported section is the trust anchor: state plainly which paper results the artifact does and does not cover, and give a cached-output verification path for anything expensive. Evaluators reward honesty about coverage and punish discovering gaps themselves.

Scoping what the artifact claims

Badge submissions fail more often from over-claiming than under-building. Declare a claims scope narrower than the paper if that is the truth: "the artifact reproduces RQ1 and RQ2; RQ3's industrial dataset is excluded under NDA, and we include the analysis scripts plus synthetic sample data so the pipeline itself is checkable." Evaluators can only award what they can verify, and a scoped-honest artifact that fully delivers its scope reads better than an everything-artifact with two broken paths. Match the scope statement to the paper's Data Availability section — a mismatch between the two is the first thing a careful evaluator diffs.

Failure modes that cost badges

  • Bit-rot between acceptance and January: dependency drift breaks the build; freeze a container image the week of acceptance.
  • Undeclared network/credential needs: an artifact that must call a paid API mid-evaluation stalls; cache responses and make live calls optional.
  • Doc-code mismatch after camera-ready edits changed table numbers — re-run the claims map against the final paper, not the submission.
  • Repository-instead-of-archive: linking GitHub main where the badge requires an immutable DOI deposit.

Reverify each cycle

Track list, badge set, deadlines, and submission form are set by each year's AE chairs; the ACM badging vocabulary is the stable layer. Confirm the 2027 call before promising badge scope to coauthors — and note the badge is opt-in: absence of one on a published ICSE paper signals nothing about its authors, only about their January.
