What it does

Issta Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when packaging an ISSTA tool, benchmark, and results for the artifact-evaluation track, covering the ACM badges (Artifacts Available via Zenodo, Evaluated Functional and Reusable, Results Reproduced), the anonymous review-time copy, containerization, a runnable entry point, and what ISSTA artifact evaluators actually try first.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers. 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 an ISSTA tool
  • Results for the artifact-evaluation track
  • Covering the ACM badges (Artifacts Available via Zenodo
  • Evaluated Functional and Reusable

Example prompts

  • “/issta-artifact-evaluation”

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

Issta Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 495 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
~1.2k

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 an ISSTA tool, benchmark, and results for the artifact-evaluation track, covering the ACM badges (Artifacts Available via Zenodo, Evaluated Functional and Reusable, Results Reproduced), the anonymous review-time copy, containerization, a runnable entry point, and what ISSTA artifact evaluators actually try first.

ISSTA Artifact Evaluation

Use this to package evidence for ISSTA's artifact-evaluation track. ISSTA has a genuinely strong artifact culture: a runnable tool and a shared benchmark are treated as normal, and the badges carry weight. Reopen the current artifact call before packaging — the badge set and the archival requirement are cycle-specific.

The ACM badge targets

BadgeWhat it certifiesWhat you must ship
Artifacts AvailableThe artifact is publicly, permanently retrievableA DOI-issuing deposit (Zenodo) — a GitHub link alone does not qualify
Artifacts Evaluated — FunctionalThe artifact runs and does what the paper saysA working entry point, dependencies, and a documented expected output
Artifacts Evaluated — ReusableOthers can inspect, adapt, and build on itClean structure, real documentation, and configurability beyond the paper's runs
Results ReproducedThe paper's key results regenerate from the artifactScripts that produce the paper's tables/figures within stated tolerance

Available is about archival; Functional and Reusable are about engineering quality; Results Reproduced is about matching the paper. They are earned independently — decide which you are going for before you package.

Artifact plan

  • Decide the badge set, then package to its bar. A Reusable badge needs documentation and structure a Functional-only artifact can skip.
  • Ship the tool with a single documented entry point and a container or environment file, so an evaluator reaches a result without reconstructing your machine.
  • Pin subjects and benchmark versions: the exact Defects4J revision, subject-program commit SHAs, and any fuzzing seed corpora, archived rather than referenced by name.
  • Provide a results-regeneration path: a script that takes logged runs to the paper's tables, so "Results Reproduced" is a command, not an argument.
  • Anonymize the review-time copy — repository owners, commit authors, container labels — because ISSTA artifact review is double-anonymous alongside the paper.
  • After acceptance, make the Zenodo deposit public and citable, and record its DOI for the camera-ready badge display.

What ISSTA evaluators try first

  • The README's quick-start, then the single command that produces one headline number. If that fails on a clean machine, no amount of internal quality is visible.
  • A small, fast subset that finishes in minutes, before any full multi-day fuzzing or symbolic-execution campaign. Ship a "smoke" configuration explicitly.
  • The mapping from a paper claim to the artifact output that supports it; an artifact whose outputs cannot be tied back to Table N reads as unverifiable.

Handling long-running and non-deterministic tools

Testing and analysis artifacts often run for hours and vary between runs. Package for that reality:

text
artifact/
  README.md            # quick-start, smoke config, full config, expected outputs, runtime
  Dockerfile           # pinned toolchain and dependencies
  subjects/            # pinned subject SHAs or a fetch script that pins them
  run_smoke.sh         # minutes: reproduces one representative row
  run_full.sh          # hours/days: reproduces all tables
  results/             # logged raw outputs from the authors' runs
  scripts/tables.py    # regenerates paper tables from results/

State the run count and expected variance for non-deterministic results, and have the regeneration script accept the evaluator's fresh runs as well as the shipped logs, so a partial reproduction still lands on the paper's numbers within tolerance.

Calibration anchors

  • Evaluators are time-boxed; assume they run the smoke config and skim the full one. Design so the smoke path alone justifies Functional.
  • Badge names, the Zenodo requirement, and any single-blind vs. double-blind detail vary by cycle; verify against the current artifact call rather than a past year.
