What it does

Podc Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when an author expects an artifact-evaluation or badge track at ACM PODC and needs redirecting — PODC has NO artifact track and no ACM badges. This skill converts artifact-culture instincts into what PODC actually evaluates: proof-appendix completeness, model/assumption rigor, and the honest, optional role of any simulation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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. 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

  • An author expects an artifact-evaluation
  • Badge track at ACM PODC and needs redirecting — PODC has NO artifact track and no ACM badges

Example prompts

  • “/podc-artifact-evaluation”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Proof-appendix completeness (the analogue of "Functional")
  2. Model/assumption rigor (the analogue of "Reusable")
  3. Optional-simulation transparency (the analogue of "Available")

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

Podc Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 446 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
~1.3k

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 an author expects an artifact-evaluation or badge track at ACM PODC and needs redirecting — PODC has NO artifact track and no ACM badges. This skill converts artifact-culture instincts into what PODC actually evaluates: proof-appendix completeness, model/assumption rigor, and the honest, optional role of any simulation.

PODC Artifact Evaluation (there isn't one — read this)

If you arrived here expecting an Artifacts-Available / Functional / Reusable / Reproduced badge process, stop: PODC has no artifact-evaluation track and no ACM badge program. It is a proofs venue. The object that is "evaluated" is your theorem and its proof, and the honesty of your model and assumptions. This skill redirects artifact energy into the three things that actually decide a PODC paper's technical standing.

Why PODC has no artifact track

A PODC contribution is a model, a theorem, and a proof, not a running system or a dataset. There is nothing for evaluators to install and run to confirm the claim — the claim is confirmed by reading the proof. Importing a badge workflow here is a category error: it would evaluate an artifact that is, at most, an optional illustration. (Contrast this with software-engineering or systems venues, where the artifact is part of the evidence.) Any simulation you ship is a figure-generator, not proof of correctness (podc-experiments, podc-reproducibility).

The three real "evaluations" at PODC

1. Proof-appendix completeness (the analogue of "Functional")

Just as an SE evaluator checks that an artifact runs, a PODC reviewer checks that the proof closes. Make it pass:

text
[ ] Every lemma the main theorem uses is stated and fully proved (or cited with the statement quoted)
[ ] No "it is easy to see" or "the remaining case is symmetric" hides a nontrivial step
[ ] Base cases of inductions/recursions are present
[ ] Named invariants are shown to hold initially and be preserved
[ ] The full version is self-contained: no proof depends on an external private note
2. Model/assumption rigor (the analogue of "Reusable")

An artifact is "Reusable" when others can build on it; a model is reusable when it is stated precisely enough that others can prove new results in it and trust yours:

text
[ ] The model box fixes network, timing, faults, adversary, randomness, and cost measure before any theorem
[ ] Every assumption the proofs consume is declared in the box (no assumption creep)
[ ] No proof silently strengthens synchrony or weakens the adversary mid-argument
[ ] Parameter regimes (ranges of n, t, diameter) are stated where results are conditional
[ ] Definitions match standard usage, or deviations are flagged explicitly

Run the assumption audit from podc-experiments; this is the single most common source of a PODC soundness rejection.

Show full SKILL.md (190 more words)Show less
3. Optional-simulation transparency (the analogue of "Available")

If — and only if — your paper includes a simulation, make it transparent, while remembering it establishes nothing:

text
[ ] Labeled as illustrative (a constant, a convergence rate, average-case behavior), not as verification
[ ] Parameters, ranges, number of trials, and random seeds reported
[ ] Environment pinned (language/version) in the full version or a linked bundle
[ ] Any repo/author-page link kept OUT of the anonymized submission (lightweight double-blind)
[ ] Added openly only in the camera-ready / arXiv full version

Mapping artifact instincts to PODC actions

Artifact-venue instinctPODC equivalent
"Package the code so it runs on a clean machine"Make the proof close for a reader with only the submission
"Document dependencies"Declare every assumption in the model box
"Provide a claim -> script -> result mapping"Provide a theorem -> lemma -> proof map with exact cross-refs
"Deposit in a DOI archive for Available"Post the full version with all proofs to arXiv
"Reproduce the headline numbers"Let a reader re-derive the bound from the stated model

What NOT to do

  • Do not build a Dockerfile, a badge application, or an evaluator README expecting a PODC artifact track — there is none.
  • Do not present a simulation as if it earned a "Reproduced" badge; PODC has no such badge and the proof is the evidence.
  • Do not de-anonymize the submission by linking a simulation repository during review.
  • Do not confuse PODC with software-engineering or systems venues (or with DISC's practice); the proofs-only evaluation model is the point.

Output format

text
[Reality check] confirmed: PODC has no artifact/badge track; the proof is what is evaluated
[Proof completeness] every lemma proved; no hidden steps; self-contained full version?
[Model rigor] model box complete; no assumption creep; regimes stated?
[Simulation] absent / illustrative-and-transparent (seeds/ranges), no de-anonymizing links?
[Fix queue] <proof gaps to close; assumptions to declare; simulation framing to correct>
