What it does

Sigir Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when packaging code, run files, test collections, or judgments for a SIGIR submission — deciding between an artifact inside a full/short paper and a standalone Resources track paper, building reviewer-runnable IR repositories, run-file and qrels hygiene, licensing and datasheets, and single- vs double-anonymous handling.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • Test collections
  • Judgments for a SIGIR submission — deciding between an artifact inside a full/short paper and a standalone Resources track paper
  • Building reviewer-runnable IR repositories
  • Run-file and qrels hygiene

Example prompts

  • “/sigir-artifact-evaluation”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • conda
    • bash
    • python

    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

Sigir Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 634 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
~1.6k

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 code, run files, test collections, or judgments for a SIGIR submission — deciding between an artifact inside a full/short paper and a standalone Resources track paper, building reviewer-runnable IR repositories, run-file and qrels hygiene, licensing and datasheets, and single- vs double-anonymous handling.

SIGIR Artifact Evaluation

At SIGIR, "artifact" means something more specific than in most ML venues: the community's unit of exchange is the run file + qrels + index recipe, inherited from the TREC evaluation tradition. A SIGIR artifact is convincing when a stranger can rebuild your ranking, score it with standard tooling, and get your table. This skill covers packaging that artifact — and the routing decision that comes first.

Routing: artifact-in-paper vs Resources paper

SIGIR 2026 explicitly forbids double-dipping: the same dataset cannot be both a Resources track submission and the contribution of another paper. Decide ownership:

SituationRoute
Code/runs that back a method claimRepository cited from the full/short paper
New corpus/judgments, and the resource itself is the contributionResources track (6 pages + refs, single-anonymous in 2026)
New resource used incidentally by a method paperMethod paper cites it; release separately; do not also submit it as a Resource paper in the same cycle
Reproduction study of published resultsReproducibility track (own track in 2026; budget 待核实)

The anonymity asymmetry matters operationally: Resources reviewers may inspect the real, non-anonymized resource, while full-paper reviewers must see an anonymized mirror. Same artifact, two different packaging jobs.

The reviewer-runnable IR repository

Structure the repository around the evaluation chain, because that is how an IR reviewer will try to audit it:

text
repo/
  README.md            # 10-minute path: install -> retrieve -> evaluate -> Table 2
  environment.yml      # or Dockerfile; pin the retrieval toolkit version
  data/DOWNLOAD.md     # scripted fetch for public collections; never redistribute
  indexing/build.sh    # exact analyzer/tokenizer settings — silent nDCG movers
  runs/                # TREC-format run files behind every table row
  qrels/               # only if you created judgments; else pointers + checksums
  eval/score.sh        # ir_measures / trec_eval invocation with exact flags
  eval/significance.py # the paired test that produced the paper's p-values
  MANIFEST.md          # table-of-paper -> script -> run file mapping

Non-negotiables:

  • Run files are the artifact. Ship the exact TREC-format runs behind every reported number; they let reviewers verify metrics without re-running GPUs.
  • The index recipe is part of the method. Stemming, stopwords, max sequence length, and doc-splitting settings change scores; record them as code, not prose.
  • Score with community tooling (trec_eval, ir_measures, ranx, or the toolkit's own eval) so numbers are checkable in one command.
  • Checksums for derived data: qrels subsets, filtered corpora, sampled queries.
bash
# The audit a reviewer (or you, pre-submission) should be able to run
conda env create -f environment.yml && conda activate repro
bash indexing/build.sh && bash eval/score.sh runs/ours.trec
python eval/significance.py runs/ours.trec runs/bm25.trec  # matches §5?

Judgments and collections as artifacts

If you built topics, judgments, or a corpus:

  • Document the annotation protocol: assessor pool, guidelines, pay, agreement statistics (e.g., Cohen's or Krippendorff's), and adjudication.
  • State pooling: which systems contributed to the judged pool and to what depth — unpooled dense-retrieval evaluation is a known validity trap reviewers probe.
  • License explicitly (CC variants for data; note source-document terms separately) and include a datasheet: provenance, intended use, known biases, PII handling.
  • For web/log-derived data, describe the privacy pipeline; "anonymized internally" without method is treated as unusable by careful reviewers.

Anonymized review packaging (full/short papers)

  • Mirror the repo to an anonymous host; scrub commit history (fresh export, not a redacted clone), usernames in paths, and institution-specific cluster scripts.
  • Keep the mirror small and runnable: reviewers grant minutes, not hours. The 10-minute README path decides whether the artifact helps or is ignored.
  • Model checkpoints too large to host anonymously: ship the training script plus the exact seed/config, and say so plainly in the README.

Packaging failures reviewers actually hit

Observed failure modes, in descending frequency:

  • The README's first command fails (missing environment.yml pin, absolute paths, CUDA assumptions) — the reviewer stops there and the artifact scores as absent.
  • Run files present but not mapped to tables — without a MANIFEST, a reviewer cannot tell runs/final3.trec from runs/final3_fixed.trec.
  • Redistributed data the license forbids (qrels, corpus slices) — a policy problem that outlasts the review.
  • Evaluation script computes a nonstandard metric variant silently (e.g., a different gain function for nDCG) — the "numbers don't match" review comment.
  • Anonymization done by deletion: the repo compiles but the interesting config was "removed for anonymity," which reads as hiding.

Post-acceptance hardening

  • Replace the mirror with the public repository before camera-ready; mint an archival DOI (Zenodo or institutional) for the frozen state the paper describes.
  • Register resources where the community looks: ir_datasets integration, a Hugging Face dataset card, or TREC-adjacent registries as fits the artifact.
  • Badging: ACM defines artifact badges, but whether SIGIR applies them this cycle was not verifiable (待核实) — treat badges as optional polish, run-file hygiene as core.
