What it does

Isca Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when preparing an accepted ISCA paper's artifact for evaluation under the ACM Review and Badging policy — scoping which results are reproducible within evaluator budgets, packaging simulator-heavy workflows others can run, writing the evaluator-facing appendix, and earning badges that print on the paper.

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 simulator-heavy workflows others can run
  • Writing the evaluator-facing appendix
  • Earning badges that print on the paper

Example prompts

  • “/isca-artifact-evaluation”

Requirements

  • Docker

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

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

  • Network

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

Isca Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 717 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
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.

Use when preparing an accepted ISCA paper's artifact for evaluation under the ACM Review and Badging policy — scoping which results are reproducible within evaluator budgets, packaging simulator-heavy workflows others can run, writing the evaluator-facing appendix, and earning badges that print on the paper.

ISCA Artifact Evaluation

The verified 2026 arrangement: authors of accepted papers could voluntarily submit artifacts, assessed under the ACM Artifact Review and Badging policy, with earned badges printed on the paper and attached as ACM Digital Library metadata — and with no effect on the acceptance decision itself. The conference framed AE as a recent, deliberate import into the architecture community (following ASPLOS from 2020 and MICRO from 2021). Voluntary does not mean optional in practice: badges are becoming the community's default trust signal, and an architecture paper without them increasingly gets asked why.

Decide scope first: which claims does the artifact defend?

Architecture artifacts fail most often from over-promising. Before packaging, split the paper's results three ways and say so in the artifact documentation:

TierContentsEvaluator experience
ReproduceHeadline figure(s) + key ablation, runnable on evaluator-accessible machines within hoursRuns it, matches within stated tolerance
Regenerate-with-resourcesFull sweeps needing cluster-days; scripts and configs complete, cost stated honestlyInspects, spot-runs a slice
Inspect-onlyAnything needing hardware evaluators won't have (FPGA boards, silicon, internal traces)Reads code + recorded raw outputs; verifies the pipeline from raw to figure

Declaring tier boundaries up front converts "couldn't run everything" from a failure into the documented plan. Never gate the Reproduce tier on proprietary inputs — substitute an open workload subset and show it preserves the trend.

Simulator-heavy artifacts: the specific frictions

  • Wall-clock honesty. Cycle-level simulation of full suites is CPU-months; evaluators have days. Ship reduced-input or single-region variants of the headline experiment, with the full-run manifests alongside. State expected runtimes per step, measured, not guessed.
  • Build fragility. Simulator trees with local patches break on new toolchains. Ship a container image with everything pre-built, and the from-source path for evaluators who distrust images.
  • Tolerance statement. Define "match": bit-identical stats for deterministic runs; a stated percentage band where sampling or threading varies. An evaluator staring at 33.7% vs the paper's 34% needs the band in writing.
  • Third-party licenses. SPEC-class suites cannot be redistributed; ship build recipes plus checksums, and include one freely redistributable workload so the pipeline is exercisable end to end regardless.

The package an evaluator can drive blind

text
artifact/
  README.md          # claims-to-experiments map; runtimes; tolerance bands
  INSTALL.md         # container route + source route, both tested cold
  run_all.sh         # Reproduce tier end to end, one command
  experiments/
    f07-headline/    # regen.sh + manifest.ini per figure (from
    f09-ablation/    #   isca-reproducibility — same manifests, reused)
  expected/          # our raw outputs + final CSVs, for diffing
  workloads/         # free subset included; licensed suite: recipe + checksums
  LICENSE

The README's first section is a claims table: paper claim → figure → command → expected output → tolerance. Evaluators grade against exactly this table; making them reverse-engineer the mapping from the paper costs goodwill and, frequently, a badge.

bash
# Cold-start rehearsal — run on a machine that has never seen the project
docker load < artifact-image.tar.gz
docker run --rm -it artifact:v1 bash -lc './run_all.sh --tier reproduce'
diff <(csvcut -c workload,ipc results/f07.csv) \
     <(csvcut -c workload,ipc expected/f07.csv)   # within README tolerance?

Have a group member outside the project do this rehearsal before submission; every question they ask is a missing README paragraph.

The badge set under ACM's policy

The ACM Review and Badging framework distinguishes availability badging (the artifact is permanently retrievable from an archival location) from functional and results-oriented badging (the artifact works as documented; the paper's results can be obtained with it). Practical mapping:

  • Availability is cheap and unconditional: deposit the evaluated snapshot with a DOI-issuing archive (a lab GitHub alone is not archival). Do this even if you pursue nothing else.
  • Functionality rides on documentation and the cold-start test.
  • Results reproduction rides on the Reproduce tier's design: modest runtime, clear tolerance, deterministic where possible.

Which badges ISCA 2027 requests, the AE calendar, and the committee's platform offerings (cloud credits, provided machines) are per-edition decisions — 待核实 against the 2027 AE page when it exists.

Working with evaluators

Architecture AE is conventionally collaborative and iterative: evaluators hit a wall, authors fix and resubmit within the AE window. Budget author-days for this in the post-acceptance calendar (isca-workflow), respond within a day while the evaluator's context is warm, and version every fix (artifact:v1.1, changelog in the README) so the final badge attaches to an identifiable object.

Timing and division of labor

AE happens in the same weeks as camera-ready preparation and talk writing. Assign the artifact to someone who ran the original experiments — packaging is recall-heavy — and start from the submission-time snapshot that isca-reproducibility froze in November, not from the current dev tree, which has drifted.

Submission gate

  • Claims table complete: every badge-relevant figure mapped to a command
  • Cold-start rehearsal passed by a non-author on a clean machine
  • Runtimes measured and stated per step; tolerance bands written
  • Container + source routes both build
  • Licensed workloads handled by recipe; free subset runs end to end
  • Archival deposit made; DOI in the camera-ready's artifact statement

Venue facts verified 2026-07-08 (../../resources/official-source-map.md); badge definitions follow ACM's published badging policy — check the version the 2027 AE chairs cite.
