What it does

Sigcomm Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when packaging an ACM SIGCOMM paper's code, traces, topologies, and configuration for the artifact-evaluation committee — choosing ACM badges (Artifacts Available, Evaluated, Results Reproduced) as claim calibration, building downscaled topologies and trace substitutes, and making a networking testbed result rebuildable by a reviewer.

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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Performance reviews. 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

  • Packaging an ACM SIGCOMM papers code
  • Configuration for the artifact-evaluation committee — choosing ACM badges (Artifacts Available
  • Results Reproduced) as claim calibration
  • Building downscaled topologies and trace substitutes

Example prompts

  • “/sigcomm-artifact-evaluation”

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

Sigcomm Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 425 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
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.

description
Use when packaging an ACM SIGCOMM paper's code, traces, topologies, and configuration for the artifact-evaluation committee — choosing ACM badges (Artifacts Available, Evaluated, Results Reproduced) as claim calibration, building downscaled topologies and trace substitutes, and making a networking testbed result rebuildable by a reviewer.

SIGCOMM Artifact Evaluation

Use this for the post-acceptance artifact submission. SIGCOMM helped establish artifact evaluation in networking, and the venue's "runnable papers" culture sets a high bar: a committee attempts to build and, where a badge requires it, reproduce your headline result. Reopen the current Call for Artifacts for this edition's exact badge set and dates (待核实 for 2026).

Badge selection is claim calibration

Choose the badges you can honestly support; the badge is a promise about what a stranger can verify, not a participation ribbon.

ACM badgeWhat it promisesWhat the AEC will do
Artifacts AvailablePermanent public retrieval via an archival DOIConfirm the archive resolves and is complete
Artifacts Evaluated (Functional)The artifact builds and runs as documentedFollow your README end to end on their setup
Results ReproducedThe paper's main results follow from the artifactRe-run to obtain the headline numbers within tolerance

Aim the highest badge at the result you most want believed, and be candid where hardware or scale makes full reproduction infeasible.

The networking-specific hard part

Generic artifact tooling cannot judge what SIGCOMM evaluators care about most: a result measured on a rack of switches or a wide-area testbed rarely rebuilds on a laptop. Plan for the gap:

  • Downscale the topology. Ship a small emulated or Mininet-style topology that reproduces the mechanism's behavior, with a documented map from the downscaled run to the paper's full-scale figure.
  • Substitute the trace legally. If the production trace cannot ship, provide a synthetic or public-trace substitute with the same statistical character, and state exactly which figures used which input.
  • Pin the environment. Kernel and NIC features, switch firmware or programmable-data-plane toolchain versions, and clock/timestamp sources all move results; record them.
  • Expose the run count. Every reported percentile needs its replication count and the seed or workload driver, or the tail cannot be reproduced.

What evaluators open first

text
artifact/
  README            # 5-minute smoke run FIRST, then the full path
  smoke/            # one command -> one small figure that proves it runs
  topology/         # downscaled + a map to the paper's full-scale setup
  traces/           # substitute inputs + provenance + which-figure-uses-what
  configs/          # exact parameters per experiment
  scripts/          # regenerate each figure from logged results
  results/          # logged raw outputs the plots are built from
  ENVIRONMENT.md    # kernel/NIC/switch/toolchain versions, hardware

Assume the evaluator runs the smoke path first and stops if it fails, so make one command produce one convincing small figure before anything else is polished.

Vignette: packaging a data-center transport result

A paper reports a tail-FCT win on a 128-server testbed. Turnkey plan: a Mininet topology that reproduces the incast dynamic at small scale; a synthetic RPC workload matching the trace's flow-size distribution; a driver that emits the FCT distribution over 20 replays; and a script that plots the 99th percentile directly from logged results so the artifact figure and the paper figure cannot diverge. The README states plainly which numbers are full-scale (paper) and which are downscaled (artifact).
