What it does

Mobicom Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when making a MobiCom result reproducible on a different testbed — recording radio, hardware, channel, and mobility provenance as the runs happen, characterizing the variance that over-the-air measurement introduces, and deciding early which traces, firmware, and deployment data can legally and safely ship for artifact evaluation.

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 Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. 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

  • Making a MobiCom result reproducible on a different testbed — recording radio
  • Mobility provenance as the runs happen
  • Characterizing the variance that over-the-air measurement introduces
  • Deciding early which traces

Example prompts

  • “/mobicom-reproducibility”

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

Mobicom Reproducibility loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 465 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.

Use when making a MobiCom result reproducible on a different testbed — recording radio, hardware, channel, and mobility provenance as the runs happen, characterizing the variance that over-the-air measurement introduces, and deciding early which traces, firmware, and deployment data can legally and safely ship for artifact evaluation.

MobiCom Reproducibility

Reproducibility at MobiCom is harder than at a compute-only venue because the experiment includes a physical radio channel that no one else has. The goal is not bit-identical reruns; it is enough provenance that a reader with a different testbed can tell whether a mismatch is their setup or your claim. Provenance is captured while the runs happen — it cannot be reconstructed after the testbed is torn down.

The provenance ledger

Keep a machine-readable record per experiment, written as the run executes:

text
Per-run provenance record:
  radio:     SDR/NIC model, firmware/driver version, carrier freq, bandwidth, TX power
  rf_frontend: antenna type, gain, cabling, amplifiers
  topology:  node count, positions/distances, LOS/NLOS, host specs
  channel:   RSSI/CSI traces, measured interference, coherence-time estimate
  mobility:  walker paths, speeds, schedule (or "stationary")
  energy:    instrument, sampling rate, measured boundary
  software:  code commit hash, config diffs from defaults, analysis-script hash
  outputs:   raw-capture location, per-figure derivation script

This ledger is simultaneously the evaluation record (mobicom-experiments), the artifact-evaluation seed (mobicom-artifact-evaluation), and the insurance policy for a one-shot revision that asks you to re-run months later on the same setup (mobicom-author-response).

Characterize the variance, do not hide it

Over-the-air numbers move between runs. A reproducible MobiCom result states its spread:

Source of varianceHow to characterize it
Channel realizationrepeat across times of day / room states; report the distribution
Interferencelog the ambient band occupancy during runs; note co-channel activity
Hardware unittest more than one radio/tag where feasible; note per-unit drift
Mobilitymultiple walker paths and speeds; report per-path spread
Thermal / timelong runs to expose drift; report start-vs-end

If a headline figure comes from one favorable channel realization, it is not yet a claim about the mechanism — say what varied and report the range, not the best run.

What can legally and safely ship

Decide early, because it constrains both the artifact and the anonymity sweep:

  • Raw captures and traces: confirm the collection did not record identifiable users or protected content; strip or aggregate what cannot ship. IRB or site conditions may bind release.
  • Firmware and proprietary radio stacks: often not redistributable — plan a description and a substitute rather than a broken artifact.
  • Deployment-site data: building maps, floor plans, or site identifiers can both de-anonymize (mobicom-submission) and violate a site agreement; generalize them.
  • Third-party datasets: ship a loader and instructions, not a re-hosted copy, unless the license permits.

A hardware-optional reproduction path

Most readers and most artifact evaluators will not have your radios. Plan, from the start, a path that does not require them:

  • A trace-replay mode that feeds recorded captures through the same decode/analysis pipeline, so the processing is reproducible without a testbed.
  • A downscaled configuration (fewer nodes, shorter distance) an evaluator can run on common hardware to reach a Functional result.
  • Expected-output and expected-variance files, so a rerun that differs by a known margin reads as success, not failure.

Audit checklist

  • Provenance ledger captured per run, not reconstructed.
  • RF, channel, and mobility conditions recorded with each headline result.
  • Variance sources characterized; ranges reported, not single best runs.
  • Legal/ethical shipping decision made for traces, firmware, and site data.
  • Trace-replay or downscaled path exists for testbed-less reproduction.
  • Analysis scripts version-pinned to the raw captures they consume.
