What it does

Itcs Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use to adapt the idea of an "artifact" to a pure-theory venue — at ITCS there is no artifact-evaluation track, no code, and no badges; the analogue is making every claim independently verifiable through complete proofs in the submitted PDF and a matching public full version, plus checkable finite objects for any computational content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Documents & Office, covering PDF. 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

  • Adapt the idea of an artifact to a pure-theory venue — at ITCS there is no artifact-evaluation track
  • The analogue is making every claim independently verifiable through complete proofs in the submitted PDF and a matching public full version
  • Plus checkable finite objects for any computational content

Example prompts

  • “artifact”
  • “/itcs-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

    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

Itcs Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 506 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
~1.3k

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 to adapt the idea of an "artifact" to a pure-theory venue — at ITCS there is no artifact-evaluation track, no code, and no badges; the analogue is making every claim independently verifiable through complete proofs in the submitted PDF and a matching public full version, plus checkable finite objects for any computational content.

ITCS Artifact Evaluation

ITCS has no artifact-evaluation track. There are no ACM/IEEE artifact badges, no Available/Functional/Reusable/Reproduced tiers, no code submission, and no evaluation committee inspecting a package. It is a pure-theory venue: the thing that must be independently verifiable is the mathematics. This skill exists because authors arriving from empirical CS (where "artifact evaluation" is a real post-acceptance track) need to know what plays that role at ITCS — and what does not apply.

The ITCS "artifact" is the proof

The artifact that a reviewer inspects is the argument itself. Making it "evaluatable" means:

  • Complete proofs of every central claim, inside the submitted PDF (body sketch + appendix full proof). This is the single most important "artifact" obligation and it is enforced at submission, not post-acceptance (see itcs-submission and itcs-reproducibility).
  • Self-contained definitions so the claims can be verified without your other papers open.
  • Pinned dependencies — every borrowed theorem cited to a precise statement, so a reviewer can audit what you assume versus prove.

There is nothing to "install," nothing to "run," and no badge to earn. The equivalent of a reproduced result is a reviewer following the proof to the end and agreeing.

The public full version as the durable, verifiable record

The closest thing ITCS has to an "available artifact" is the full version on arXiv / ECCC / IACR ePrint, which authors are encouraged to post under lightweight double-blind:

  • It is the permanent open record of the complete argument — the analogue of an archived, DOI-bearing artifact, except it is the paper itself, open access, mirrored by LIPIcs on acceptance.
  • It does not substitute for proofs in the submitted PDF. During review the PC judges the submission; a central proof that lives only in the preprint counts as absent (see itcs-supplementary).
  • Keep the preprint and submission in sync so the "artifact" a later reader verifies matches the one the PC accepted.

When a paper does have computational content

Occasionally an ITCS paper leans on a small computation — a search that found a gadget, a solver certifying a finite separation. Make that checkable, in the spirit of an artifact but without a track to submit it to:

  • Include the finite object (the graph, code, certificate) so verification is a static check, not a re-run. A reviewer confirming that a supplied 12-vertex graph has the claimed property is the theory analogue of "reproduced."
  • State the search space and the tool/version so the computation is auditable in principle.
  • Do not host it on a personal repository during review — that is a lightweight-double-blind leak; fold small objects into an appendix (see itcs-experiments).

What does NOT transfer from empirical-CS artifact tracks

Empirical-CS artifact conceptITCS reality
Available / Functional / Reusable / Reproduced badgesNone — no badges exist at ITCS
A separate artifact-evaluation committee & deadlineNone — the PC judges the proofs at review time
Docker image / build script / environment pinningIrrelevant — there is no code to build
"Reproduce the numbers"Replaced by "follow the proof and agree"
Post-acceptance artifact submissionThe post-acceptance task is the LIPIcs camera-ready (see itcs-camera-ready)

Verifiability checklist (the ITCS "artifact" pass)

text
[Proofs-in-PDF]   every central claim fully proved inside the submitted PDF? yes/no
[Self-contained]  claims verifiable without the authors' other papers? yes/no
[Dependencies]    borrowed results pinned to precise statements? yes/no
[Full version]    posted (arXiv/ECCC/ePrint) and consistent with the submission? yes/no
[Compute objects] any finite computational witness included and statically checkable? yes/no/NA
[Anonymity]       no personal-repo link exposing identity during review? yes/no

Output format

text
[ITCS verifiability status] independently-checkable / gaps
[Proof artifact] central claims proved in-PDF? self-contained? dependencies pinned? (yes/no)
[Durable record] full version posted and in sync? yes/no
[Computational witness] finite object included & checkable? yes/no/NA
[Note] there is no badge/track — the deliverable is a checkable proof, not a package
[Fix queue] <ordered; unproved central claims first>
