What it does

Mlsys Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when packaging an accepted MLSys paper's code, configs, and measurement scripts for the venue's post-acceptance artifact evaluation, targeting the Availability, Functional, and Reproducible badges, writing the Artifact Appendix, handling hardware that AE reviewers cannot access, and answering anonymous evaluator questions.

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

  • Packaging an accepted MLSys papers code
  • Measurement scripts for the venues post-acceptance artifact evaluation
  • Targeting the Availability
  • Reproducible badges

Example prompts

  • “s code, configs, and measurement scripts for the venue”
  • “/mlsys-artifact-evaluation”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • 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 (its code samples are dockerfile).

    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

Mlsys Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 652 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
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 packaging an accepted MLSys paper's code, configs, and measurement scripts for the venue's post-acceptance artifact evaluation, targeting the Availability, Functional, and Reproducible badges, writing the Artifact Appendix, handling hardware that AE reviewers cannot access, and answering anonymous evaluator questions.

MLSys Artifact Evaluation

Use this after acceptance, when deciding whether and how to enter MLSys artifact evaluation. AE is one of this venue's defining institutions: a separate committee evaluates how well artifacts support the paper's claims and awards badges. In the 2026 cycle (verified 2026-07-08): submission of artifact abstract, paper PDF, and Artifact Appendix to a dedicated AE site by March 8; evaluation window March 8 - April 8; badges for Availability, Functional, and Reproducible; anonymous reviewer-author interaction during evaluation; and a small number of Distinguished Artifact Awards for exceptional packages. Reopen the current Call for Artifact Evaluations before relying on any of these mechanics.

Badge strategy — decide the target first

BadgeWhat evaluators checkTypical cost to authors
AvailabilityArtifact is publicly and permanently retrievable (public GitHub-style link expected in the appendix)Hours: license, public repo, archival snapshot
FunctionalThe artifact runs: documented, complete relative to the paper, exercisable end-to-endDays: install path, smoke test, small-scale example
ReproducibleEvaluators regenerate the paper's key results following your instructionsWeeks: automation, hardware plan, tolerance definitions

Claim badges honestly. Requesting Reproducible when the headline table needs a cluster the committee cannot access converts a friendly process into a failed one; requesting only Availability+Functional with a clear statement of why is respected.

The hardware problem — MLSys AE's hardest part

Most MLSys results are performance results on specific hardware. Solve this explicitly in the appendix rather than hoping:

  • Tier the claims. Separate results reproducible on one commodity GPU (or CPU) from results needing an 8-GPU node from results needing a cluster. Ask for the Reproducible badge on the tiers evaluators can actually run.
  • Scale-down targets. Provide a reduced configuration (smaller model, shorter trace) whose trend matches the paper — and state the expected numbers for that reduced configuration, since evaluators cannot compare against a table they cannot reproduce.
  • Relative, not absolute, tolerances. Performance varies across machines; define success as "speedup over the included baseline within ±15%" rather than absolute throughput.
  • If you can offer supervised access to your hardware, check whether the current AE call permits it; do not assume.

Package skeleton evaluators expect

dockerfile
# Dockerfile — pin the system layer, not just Python
FROM nvidia/cuda:12.4.1-devel-ubuntu22.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git python3.11 python3-pip
COPY requirements.lock /w/requirements.lock          # exact versions, hash-pinned
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r /w/requirements.lock
COPY . /w
WORKDIR /w
# One command per claim tier:
#   make smoke        (<10 min, any GPU)   -> Functional
#   make table3       (~1 h, 1x A100/H100) -> Reproducible tier 1
#   make fig6-scaled  (reduced trace, expected: 1.5-1.7x over baseline)
CMD ["make", "smoke"]
  • README with: claims-to-commands map, hardware/time requirements per command, and a "what should I see" block for every command.
  • All baselines included at the versions and configurations used in the paper — a package that reproduces your system but not the comparison reproduces nothing.
  • Logged outputs from your own runs, so evaluators can diff behavior before burning GPU-hours.
  • Traces, datasets, or generators for the workloads; if a workload is proprietary, ship a synthetic surrogate and label the substitution honestly.

Artifact Appendix skeleton

The appendix is the evaluator's map; in 2026 it was submitted with the artifact abstract and paper PDF to the AE site. Whatever template the current call mandates, cover:

text
A.1 Abstract           what the artifact contains, one paragraph
A.2 Claims supported   paper claim -> command -> expected output -> tolerance
A.3 Requirements       hardware (per tier), software, disk, network access,
                       time-to-first-result and time-to-full-reproduction
A.4 Setup              container build or install path; offline fallback for
                       anything fetched from the network at build time
A.5 Experiment map     make targets / scripts per figure and table number
A.6 Known deviations   results that vary by hardware and by how much;
                       proprietary workloads replaced by surrogates
A.7 Reusability        how to point the artifact at new models/workloads —
                       this is what separates award-level artifacts

Write A.3 pessimistically: an evaluator who discovers an undeclared 200GB download or a hidden internet dependency mid-window will not restart with goodwill.

During the evaluation window

  • Interaction is anonymous and mediated; respond within a day — the window is finite (one month in 2026) and a stuck evaluator is a failed badge.
  • Treat every evaluator failure as a packaging bug to fix and re-push, not a user error to explain away; committees typically allow artifact updates during evaluation.
  • Keep one author on call who can debug environment issues; the most common failure mode is driver/container mismatch on the evaluator's machine, not your code.

Why bother

Badges appear with the paper and signal to this community — where results are routinely questioned as hardware-specific — that a third party ran your code. The Distinguished Artifact Award exists because MLSys treats the artifact as part of the scholarship, and a badged artifact keeps producing citations after the conference ends.

Cycle-volatility warnings

  • Badge names, the AE site, deadlines, and whether AE remains post-acceptance-optional are all per-cycle decisions; the 2026 mechanics above are anchors to verify.
  • The Artifact Appendix template, if one is mandated, comes from the current AE call.
