What it does

Micro Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when preparing a MICRO artifact for post-acceptance evaluation — packaging simulators, configs, traces, and scripts so evaluators can regenerate the paper's figures, targeting the ACM Available/Functional/Reproducible badges, handling licensed workloads and long simulations, and earning the optional artifact appendix.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 a MICRO artifact for post-acceptance evaluation — packaging simulators
  • Scripts so evaluators can regenerate the papers figures
  • Targeting the ACM Available/Functional/Reproducible badges
  • Handling licensed workloads and long simulations

Example prompts

  • “/micro-artifact-evaluation”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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:

    • make

    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

Micro Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 697 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 a MICRO artifact for post-acceptance evaluation — packaging simulators, configs, traces, and scripts so evaluators can regenerate the paper's figures, targeting the ACM Available/Functional/Reproducible badges, handling licensed workloads and long simulations, and earning the optional artifact appendix.

MICRO Artifact Evaluation

MICRO runs artifact evaluation after acceptance: authors of accepted papers are invited to submit artifacts, an Artifact Evaluation Committee reviews them, and successful papers carry ACM badges in the proceedings. Anchors here are the MICRO 2025 AE pages (micro58/submit/artifacts.php, verified 2026-07-08); the 2026 edition's AE page and calendar are 待核实 — expect the same architecture, verify the dates.

Badge targets and what each demands

Badge (ACM)BarMicroarchitecture-specific gotcha
Artifact AvailableDeposited on a public archival repository — Zenodo, FigShare, Dryad named in 2025A GitHub repo alone fails; it is not archival. Deposit a tagged snapshot, keep GitHub as the living mirror
Artifact FunctionalDocumented, complete, exercisableSimulator builds on a clean machine — your decade of dotfiles is not in the package
Results ReproducibleEvaluators regenerate the paper's main claimsSimulation time is the enemy: full SPEC runs take days-weeks; provide a subset path

Papers passing AE also earned, in 2025, the right to a two-page artifact appendix in the camera-ready, free of charge — reproduction instructions published with the paper.

The time-budget problem is the design problem

A MICRO artifact's hardest constraint is that cycle-level simulation is slow and evaluators have finite weeks. Design three nested entry points:

text
make smoke      # ~30 min: one workload region, one config — proves the plumbing
make key        # ~1 day:  the headline figure (Fig. 3) on a representative subset
make full       # ~1 week: every figure, every sweep — for the determined evaluator

Document expected runtime and disk for each. State which paper claims each tier supports. An evaluator who finishes make key in a day and sees Fig. 3 appear is an evaluator who awards the badge.

Package inventory

  • Top-level README: paper title, badge targets, the three entry points, a figure-to-command map ("Fig. 5 ⇐ make fig5, ~6 h"), hardware/software requirements (the 2025 process asked for these to route artifacts to suitable evaluators).
  • Environment capture: container image or pinned build script for the simulator toolchain; host assumptions stated (cores, RAM — parallel sims are memory-hungry).
  • Everything micro-reproducibility pinned: simulator commit + patches, config files for baseline/mechanism/ablations, manifests, plotting scripts.
  • Raw stats for the paper's figures, so evaluators can verify plots even before re-simulating — this alone often satisfies partial reproduction.

Licensed and unshippable inputs

  • SPEC CPU binaries/inputs cannot be redistributed. Ship the trace-generation recipe (tool version, SimPoint parameters, flags) plus, where licensing allows, the derived traces; otherwise document how an evaluator with a SPEC license regenerates them, and rest the Reproducible claim on shippable workloads.
  • Proprietary RTL or PDK data (synthesis libraries are NDA'd): report the flow and constraints, mark the RTL numbers as not independently reproducible, and scope the badge request to the simulation results. Honest scoping beats a failed evaluation.
  • FPGA/silicon dependencies: offer remote access if institutionally possible, or pre-recorded measurement logs with the analysis scripts.

Common failure modes, ranked by frequency of pain

FailureRoot causePrevention
Build breaks on evaluator machineUndeclared host dependency (library, kernel version, python package)Container or lockfile; test in a fresh VM
Numbers regenerate but differ slightlySimulator nondeterminism or a config drifted after paper freezeDeterminism check + tagged commit at submission (micro-reproducibility)
Evaluator cannot find which command makes which figureREADME written for the authors, not strangersFigure-to-command map, tested by a labmate who did not build the artifact
Full run exceeds the AE windowNo tieringsmoke/key/full entry points with honest runtime labels
Licensed inputs block everythingSPEC traces shipped nowhere, no fallbackShippable-workload subset carrying the Reproducible claim

A dry run fixes four of the five: hand the package to someone outside the project with only the README, and watch — silently — where they stall.

Working with evaluators

AE is collaborative, not adversarial: expect questions, fix breakage fast, and keep a changelog of package updates during the window. Budget author-time in August–September (the window overlaps the September 11 camera-ready in the 2026 calendar — plan both, see micro-camera-ready). The final deposit that carries the Available badge must be the fixed package, re-uploaded to the archival repository with a new version DOI.

Minimal artifact layout that evaluators navigate well

text
artifact/
├── README.md            # badges sought, 3 entry points, figure-to-command map
├── Dockerfile           # or install.sh with pinned versions
├── Makefile             # smoke / key / full targets
├── configs/             # baseline.json, mechanism.json, ablations/
├── manifests/           # one YAML per experiment batch (micro-reproducibility)
├── stats-paper/         # the raw stats behind every published figure
├── plots/               # scripts: stats -> exact paper figures
├── traces/RECIPE.md     # how to regenerate licensed traces (nothing licensed inside)
└── LIMITS.md            # known fidelity gaps; claims stay inside them

Two conventions matter more than the tree itself: the README's first screen must answer "what do I run first and how long will it take," and nothing an evaluator needs may require reading source code to discover. If the paper linked an anonymized repo at submission (micro-supplementary), this layout should already exist — AE prep is then a de-anonymization pass plus the archival deposit.
