What it does

Neurips Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when strengthening NeurIPS reproducibility evidence, aligning Paper Checklist answers with the paper, writing code/data instructions, setting random-seed and compute disclosure, or deciding whether the MLRC/TMLR reproducibility route fits better than the main track or Datasets & Benchmarks track.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 and Scientific writing. 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

  • Strengthening NeurIPS reproducibility evidence
  • Aligning Paper Checklist answers with the paper
  • Writing code/data instructions
  • Setting random-seed and compute disclosure

Example prompts

  • “/neurips-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

Neurips Reproducibility loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 495 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 strengthening NeurIPS reproducibility evidence, aligning Paper Checklist answers with the paper, writing code/data instructions, setting random-seed and compute disclosure, or deciding whether the MLRC/TMLR reproducibility route fits better than the main track or Datasets & Benchmarks track.

NeurIPS Reproducibility

Use this skill when a NeurIPS paper's claim depends on experiments, data, code, or a reproducibility argument. The immediate target is a trustworthy main-track paper; the alternative route is MLRC/TMLR when the central contribution is reproduction, replication, or generalizability of prior claims.

Main-track reproducibility bar

  • State exact data splits, preprocessing, hyperparameters, selection criteria, compute resources, software versions, and random-seed protocol.
  • Report uncertainty where it matters: confidence intervals, standard errors, multiple seeds, sensitivity checks, or negative findings.
  • Distinguish exploratory experiments from evidence that supports the main claim.
  • Make code/data availability match the checklist answer; "no" is allowed with justification, but a central open-source benchmark or dataset usually needs accessible artifacts.
  • For human, private, medical, proprietary, or safety-sensitive data, document access constraints and ethical controls rather than pretending full release is possible.

MLRC route check

Consider the NeurIPS Reproducibility / MLRC track when the paper is primarily about confirming, partially reproducing, failing to reproduce, or extending a published ML result. The 2026 MLRC route requires TMLR review/acceptance before NeurIPS presentation consideration; this is not a shortcut for ordinary main-track submissions.

Checklist-to-evidence cross-check

A "yes" on the NeurIPS Paper Checklist with nothing in the paper to back it is exactly what reviewers hunt for. Run this cross-check so each reproducibility answer is honest and locatable; hedge the exact item wording to the current year's checklist.

Checklist answerEvidence that must existFailure pattern reviewers flag
Code released: yesanonymous link plus run commands during review"yes" with no commands or a dead link
Data released: yesaccessible split, license, and loading codecentral benchmark claimed open but not provided
Seeds/protocol reportedseed count and aggregation rule in the texta single run reported as if deterministic
Compute reportedhardware, wall-clock, and total resource budgetomitted cost behind a "trained until converged"
Error bars reportedintervals or std over runs on headline metricsbold-best numbers with no variance

A justified "no" beats an unsupported "yes". If full release is blocked by privacy, licensing, or safety, say so and document what reviewers can still verify.

Reviewer-pushback patterns

Reviewer concernNeurIPS-specific fix
"Results may be a lucky seed"report multiple seeds with variance, not a single point
"Cannot rerun your pipeline"ship exact env, configs, and a one-command entry point in the ZIP
"Compute claims are unfair"disclose budget and tune baselines under the same budget
"Dataset access unclear"give license, hosting, and access steps, anonymized for review

Worked vignette: a scaling-law claim

A paper claims a clean scaling law but reports one training run per model size with no intervals. Reviewers cannot tell signal from seed noise. The fix before submission: add at least a few seeds at the smaller sizes, plot variance bands, disclose the GPU-hours budget, and set the code-released and error-bars checklist answers to a "yes" that the appendix actually supports. If the contribution were instead reproducing someone else's published scaling law, the MLRC/TMLR route, not the main track, would be the correct home.
