What it does

Mobisys Experiments is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing the evaluation of a MobiSys submission — building real-device testbeds, instrumenting energy and thermal behavior, measuring latency and frame-rate tails, bounding memory footprint, choosing tuned system baselines, and running deployments or user studies, so systems reviewers see where the system wins and breaks on the device.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Deployment. 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

  • Auditing the evaluation of a MobiSys submission — building real-device testbeds
  • Instrumenting energy and thermal behavior
  • Measuring latency and frame-rate tails
  • Bounding memory footprint

Example prompts

  • “/mobisys-experiments”

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

Mobisys Experiments loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 647 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 designing or auditing the evaluation of a MobiSys submission — building real-device testbeds, instrumenting energy and thermal behavior, measuring latency and frame-rate tails, bounding memory footprint, choosing tuned system baselines, and running deployments or user studies, so systems reviewers see where the system wins and breaks on the device.

MobiSys Experiments

A MobiSys result becomes believable only when it is measured on real hardware, driven to steady state, and reported in latency, energy, memory, and thermal terms. Simulation-only or single-run numbers read as under-done. The evaluation axis here is the device and platform — compute, energy, latency, memory, heat — not the radio or channel a wireless venue grades, and not the traffic-and-topology an infrastructure venue grades. Build the evaluation as one device-behavior claim per experiment.

Turn each claim into one device experiment

The clean structure gives each subsection a claim about the running system, then the one experiment that settles it. The opposite habit — run a benchmark suite and describe whatever survives — is the unfocused evaluation MobiSys reviewers push back on. The claim-to-experiment map for a running mobile system:

Claim about the systemExperiment that settles itMetrics
It meets the target in the motivating scenarioon-device run under the real workloadp50/p95 latency, throughput, task success
Its energy cost is acceptableinstrumented run on a power monitorenergy-per-operation, average and peak power
It survives sustained usemulti-minute run to thermal steady stateframe-rate stability, temperature trace, throttle onset
Each mechanism earns its placecomponent breakdown / ablationper-mechanism contribution
It fits within device memorypeak-memory and storage accountingpeak RSS, model and cache size
Its failure mode is understoodhot, low-memory, low-battery device statesthe state where a baseline wins

What the setup must state

  • The full device context: phone/board model, SoC, OS build, framework/runtime version, battery vs. wall power, and ambient temperature. A number without its device is not interpretable.
  • Define the energy boundary: the power instrument (on-device rail, external monitor, shunt + DAQ), the sampling rate, and what is inside the measured envelope (SoC only? whole device?). Do not let "efficient" stand in for a measured joules figure.
  • Make load explicit: the workload trace, its duration, and whether the run reached thermal steady state; a 30-second benchmark hides the throttling that a 20-minute run shows.
  • Report ground truth honestly: for a service or inference claim, how correctness was established and its own error.

Making energy and heat auditable

Battery, energy, and thermal claims are common at MobiSys and are held to instrument-level scrutiny:

text
Energy/thermal report checklist:
  instrument: power monitor / on-device rail / shunt + DAQ, sampling rate
  quantity: energy-per-operation (mJ), not just average power (mW)
  boundary: what is inside the measured envelope (SoC? whole device?)
  thermal: skin/SoC temperature trace and whether steady state was reached
  battery: state-of-charge span, or wall power stated explicitly

An energy or thermal claim that cannot be re-derived from a described setup should not survive your own audit.

Comparators a systems reviewer will trust

  • Compare against the system people actually run, configured the way its own documentation prescribes — an untuned baseline is the most common credibility wound in systems reviewing.
  • Include the do-less baseline: the trivial fix (a smaller model, a fixed low frame rate, more aggressive quantization). If the system cannot beat it at equal quality, that is the finding.
  • When a competitor cannot be run (proprietary runtime, unavailable device), reimplement and label it a reimplementation, or compare on published numbers with the configuration deltas stated.

Report the spread, never a lone peak

  • Report percentiles and confidence intervals for latency, energy, and throughput; a single "up to N×" without the distribution is a review risk (mobisys-writing-style).
  • Show tails and CDFs for headline latency results, and repeat runs across enough devices, thermal states, or battery levels to expose run-to-run spread.
  • On-device results are device- and state-dependent — a number from one phone at full charge in a cool room is not a claim about the system until the spread is characterized.

Pre-submission evaluation pass

  • Every evaluation subsection answers a named question.
  • Device, OS, runtime version, power source, and ambient fully specified per experiment.
  • Energy measured with a described instrument and boundary, not estimated.
  • Sustained-load run reaches steady state; thermal behavior reported.
  • Incumbent-grade baseline present and tuned; do-less baseline present.
  • Percentiles + tails for headline latency; multi-device or multi-state spread reported.
  • At least one device state the system does not win, discussed rather than buried.
  • Numbers in abstract/intro regenerate from the recorded runs.
  • A hardware-optional or downscaled variant exists for artifact evaluators (mobisys-artifact-evaluation).
