What it does

Rss Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when strengthening the reproducibility of an RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) paper whose evidence lives partly on hardware — platform disclosure ledgers, log-backed trial claims, seeds and configs for the computational half, honest replication tiers, and release plans aligned with the free open-access proceedings culture.

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 Research & Science, covering Reproducible research, Feature launches and release readiness and Database administration. 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

  • Log-backed trial claims
  • Seeds and configs for the computational half
  • Honest replication tiers
  • Release plans aligned with the free open-access proceedings culture

Example prompts

  • “/rss-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

Rss Reproducibility loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 684 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
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.

Use when strengthening the reproducibility of an RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) paper whose evidence lives partly on hardware — platform disclosure ledgers, log-backed trial claims, seeds and configs for the computational half, honest replication tiers, and release plans aligned with the free open-access proceedings culture.

RSS Reproducibility

Make an embodied result checkable. Robotics reproducibility is two different problems wearing one name: the computational half (code, seeds, configs) can be rerun by anyone; the physical half (this robot, this room, this cloth) can only be specified well enough for a peer lab to attempt replication. Treat the halves separately and state which tier each claim sits in.

Replication tiers — declare one per claim

TierWhat a reader can doMinimum you must provide
RerunnableReproduce the number from the releaseCode, seeds, configs, data, one entry command
Re-collectableRegenerate equivalent data on similar hardwareFull platform ledger + protocol document
AuditableVerify your numbers follow from your logsRaw trial logs + analysis scripts
TestimonialTrust the authorsNothing — and reviewers price it accordingly

A paper mixing tiers is fine; a paper implying Rerunnable while delivering Testimonial is the credibility failure RSS reviewers punish hardest.

The platform ledger

For the physical half, disclosure is the reproducibility. A peer lab needs:

  • Robot make/model and any modifications; end-effector; sensor suite with mounting and calibration procedure; control frequency and stack (firmware through policy).
  • Environment specifics that carry load: table friction, lighting, object sourcing (purchasable items beat lab-fabricated ones), workspace dimensions.
  • Human procedure: reset steps, intervention rules, operator role — written as instructions, not narrative.
  • Timing facts that gate feasibility: wall-clock per trial, total campaign hours, battery/thermal constraints that shaped the protocol.

Log-backed claims

The strongest robotics reproducibility artifact is the raw trial ledger:

text
trial_0142  cond=gripper_B  obj=towel_3  seed=1142
  result=fail  cause=release_timing  video=clips/0142.mp4
  notes=operator_intervention:none
  • One row per attempt, appended at collection time, never edited afterward.
  • Analysis scripts consume the ledger and emit every table in the paper — so PDF numbers cannot drift from evidence.
  • Ship the ledger (anonymized) in the supplement; it converts "trust us" trial counts into auditable ones.

What to capture during the campaign (not after)

Reproducibility in robotics is mostly a collection-time discipline; these cannot be reconstructed later:

  • Per-trial ledger rows (above) appended live, including aborted attempts.
  • Camera footage of every trial, named by trial ID — storage is cheaper than a re-run campaign, and it doubles as rss-supplementary raw material.
  • Calibration snapshots (camera extrinsics, force-torque zeroing) at session start, so drift between sessions is diagnosable.
  • Software state per session: commit hash, config checksum, simulator build.
  • Environmental incidentals that later become reviewer questions: object wear, lighting changes, floor surface swaps.
  • A daily one-paragraph campaign log; six weeks later it is the only honest answer to "why does condition B have 19 trials instead of 25?"

Computational half: standard, therefore mandatory

  • Seeds for every stochastic component (policy training, sampler init, domain randomization) and the variance across them, not one lucky seed.
  • Exact dependency manifest, simulator version and physics timestep, GPU/CPU spec, and training wall-clock.
  • Config files as the single source of hyperparameters; no numbers living only in the paper text.

Release plan and the venue's open culture

RSS proceedings are free to every reader at roboticsproceedings.org; a paywalled PDF with closed evidence would be off-culture. Plan the release in two states: anonymized supplement at submission (rss-supplementary), public repository + ledger + footage at camera-ready (rss-camera-ready). If something cannot be released (proprietary platform, safety), say what and why in the paper — a stated gap reads as honesty, a silent one as concealment.

Vignette: an honest tier map

A paper couples a learned grasp ranker (trained in simulation) with hardware clutter-clearing trials. Its declared map: the simulation training curves and ranker metrics are Rerunnable (seeds, configs, dataset, one command); the hardware success rates are Auditable (ledger plus analysis scripts shipped) and Re-collectable for labs with a comparable arm (platform ledger and protocol document provided); the wear-dependent behavior of one deformable object is Testimonial, and the paper says so in one sentence. Reviewers can now disagree with the evidence, but not discover its limits by surprise — which is the entire game.

Simulator determinism caveats

  • Physics engines are only conditionally deterministic: thread counts, contact solver iterations, and hardware can change trajectories under the same seed. Record engine version, timestep, solver settings — and state whether exact replay or statistical equivalence is the reproduction target.
  • GPU nondeterminism in training means "same seed" still needs a variance report across seeds to be meaningful.
