What it does

Sosp Artifact Evaluation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when preparing a SOSP artifact for the post-acceptance evaluation run by the sysartifacts community, registering within days of notification, packaging for the cooperative review process, and targeting the ACM badges — Artifacts Available, Artifacts Evaluated Functional, and Artifacts Evaluated Reusable.

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 works with GitHub. 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

  • Preparing a SOSP artifact for the post-acceptance evaluation run by the sysartifacts community
  • Registering within days of notification
  • Packaging for the cooperative review process
  • Targeting the ACM badges — Artifacts Available

Example prompts

  • “/sosp-artifact-evaluation”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Anyone-can-run tier: build + unit-level functionality in a container or VM
  2. Provided-hardware tier: reserved access to your cluster or a public testbed
  3. Documented-only tier: results needing unobtainable hardware or proprietary

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

Sosp Artifact Evaluation loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 601 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
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 preparing a SOSP artifact for the post-acceptance evaluation run by the sysartifacts community, registering within days of notification, packaging for the cooperative review process, and targeting the ACM badges — Artifacts Available, Artifacts Evaluated Functional, and Artifacts Evaluated Reusable.

SOSP Artifact Evaluation

Use this once a SOSP paper is accepted and the artifact-evaluation (AE) invitation arrives. SOSP's AE is optional, runs after acceptance (so it never threatens the paper decision), and is operated through the shared systems-community infrastructure at sysartifacts.github.io with its own HotCRP instance (for 2025: sysartifacts.github.io/sosp2025/, sosp25ae.hotcrp.com; verified 2026-07-08). The CFP describes the clock plainly: a few days after notification to register the artifact, then a few more days to polish it before evaluation begins.

The process is cooperative — plan to be online

SOSP AE is explicitly interactive: evaluators report problems, authors fix them during the window, and reasonable response time is an expectation, not a courtesy. The strongest predictor of a failed evaluation is not code quality; it is an author team that treated submission as fire-and-forget during the same weeks the camera-ready and conference logistics were competing for attention.

  • Name an AE owner who is not the shepherd-thread owner.
  • Watch the AE HotCRP for evaluator comments daily during the window.
  • Fixes during evaluation are legitimate; ship them as tagged revisions so evaluators can tell what changed.

Badge targeting

SOSP badges follow the ACM artifact-review taxonomy. Choose targets deliberately — each badge has its own checklist, and chasing all of them with a hardware-bound artifact is a common own-goal.

BadgeWhat evaluators checkTypical blocker
Artifacts AvailableArtifact deposited in a public archival repository with a DOI/stable linkOnly a GitHub URL — repos are not archival; cut an archived release
Artifacts Evaluated — FunctionalDocumented, consistent, complete, exercisable; evidence of verification"Works on our cluster" scripts with hardcoded paths and hostnames
Artifacts Evaluated — ReusableFunctional bar plus docs and structure that let others build on itNo way to run on inputs other than the paper's

Artifacts earning all available badges compete for the Distinguished Artifact award — worth targeting when the artifact is genuinely the paper's contribution.

Packaging for an OS-adjacent artifact

SOSP artifacts frequently need kernels, custom modules, specific NICs, or multi-node clusters — things an evaluator cannot conjure. Tier the claims:

  1. Anyone-can-run tier: build + unit-level functionality in a container or VM image, minutes not hours. This alone can carry Functional.
  2. Provided-hardware tier: reserved access to your cluster or a public testbed (CloudLab-style) with exact node profiles, for headline performance results.
  3. Documented-only tier: results needing unobtainable hardware or proprietary traces; state clearly that these are documented, not re-runnable, and do not claim badges over them.
text
artifact/
  README.md            # claims map: paper claim -> experiment -> expected output & tolerance
  ARTIFACT-CHECKLIST   # target badges, per-badge self-assessment
  kick-the-tires/      # <30 min smoke path evaluators run first
  build/               # container/VM definitions, pinned toolchain and kernel version
  experiments/         # one dir per paper figure/table, run.sh + plot.sh each
  hardware/            # node specs, testbed profile, reservation instructions
  LICENSE

The claims map matters more than any script: evaluators reproduce claims, so state for each figure what "success" means numerically (for example, "throughput within 10% of Fig. 7's trend; absolute numbers vary with hardware").

Kick-the-tires discipline

Most SOSP-style AE processes open with a smoke-test phase. Whatever the current year calls it, build for it: a top-level path that a stranger on a fresh machine can complete in under half an hour, exercising the build and one small end-to-end run. Rehearse it literally on a fresh VM with a lab member who did not write the code, and time it. Every minute of evaluator confusion in the first session is paid back as skepticism for the rest of the window.

What AE cannot do

  • It cannot change the acceptance decision, and evaluators are anonymous to authors — keep interactions inside the AE HotCRP.
  • It does not certify performance portability; badges say the artifact was exercised, not that your speedups hold on other silicon.
  • Badge names, phases, and dates are re-announced per cycle by the sysartifacts chairs; the 2026-cycle SOSP AE page details were not yet pinned when this pack was written (待核实) — read the year's call before promising badges to co-authors.
