What it does

Uai Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when hardening reproducibility evidence for a UAI paper, including seeds, sampler convergence diagnostics, ELBO and calibration traces, dataset and hyperparameter disclosure, compute reporting, and honest code-availability statements, since UAI strongly encourages released code and data and reviews whether claims are convincingly backed.

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.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research and 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.

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 (its code samples are 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

Uai Reproducibility loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 713 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
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 hardening reproducibility evidence for a UAI paper, including seeds, sampler convergence diagnostics, ELBO and calibration traces, dataset and hyperparameter disclosure, compute reporting, and honest code-availability statements, since UAI strongly encourages released code and data and reviews whether claims are convincingly backed.

UAI Reproducibility

UAI's 2026 CFP did not impose a formal reproducibility checklist (one may appear later — 待核实 each cycle), but it strongly encouraged code and data availability and instructed reviewers to judge whether claims are backed up convincingly. At this venue "convincing" has a technical meaning: stochastic-inference results carry diagnostics, not just point estimates. This skill turns that norm into an audit.

The UAI-specific bar

Reproducibility questions at a probabilistic-inference venue go one level deeper than "can I rerun the script":

  • A sampler that reproduces the same posterior mean but different tail quantiles has not reproduced the paper — report and check the diagnostics that detect this (R-hat, ESS, divergent transitions where relevant).
  • A variational result is reproducible when the ELBO trajectory and the selected restart are recoverable, not merely the final metric; multi-restart selection rules must be stated.
  • Calibration claims reproduce only if the binning scheme, the split used for recalibration, and the α grid are all pinned down; empirical coverage moves with all three.
  • Causal-discovery results depend on graph generation as much as on the algorithm: publish the SCM sampler, noise families, and intervention protocol.

Determinism ledger

Record every randomness source once, in code, and cite it from the paper:

python
# repro/ledger.py — imported by every experiment entry point
import json, platform, random, numpy as np

def fix_and_log(seed: int, path: str = "run_manifest.json"):
    random.seed(seed)
    np.random.seed(seed)
    manifest = {
        "seed": seed,
        "python": platform.python_version(),
        "numpy": np.__version__,
        "chains": 4, "warmup": 1000, "draws": 2000,   # sampler config lives here
        "elbo_restarts": 10, "restart_rule": "best final ELBO",
    }
    json.dump(manifest, open(path, "w"), indent=2)
    return manifest

The manifest style matters more than the specific fields: one machine-readable file per run, checked into the artifact, lets a reviewer reconcile the paper's Table 3 with an actual execution.

Disclosure map

What must be recoverableWhere it lives at UAICommon omission
Model and assumption setMain part, stated with each theorem/methodAssumptions distributed across three sections
Sampler / optimizer settingsAppendix (unlimited, same PDF)"Default settings" without library version
Hyperparameter search space and selection ruleAppendix tableOnly the winning configuration reported
Seeds and number of repeatsAppendix + artifact manifestSingle-run results with no variance
Dataset versions, splits, preprocessingAppendix + loader script in ZIPPreprocessing "as in [12]" where [12] is ambiguous
Compute (hardware, runtime, memory)AppendixRuntime reported only for the proposed method, not baselines
Code/data availability statementMain part or appendixSilence, which reviewers read as "unavailable"

Diagnostic quick reference

What "reported convincingly" tends to mean per inference family — as conventions of the field, not venue mandates:

FamilyMinimum reportedStronger version
MCMCR-hat per parameter block, ESS, chain count/lengthRank plots; comparison against a long-run gold standard
VariationalFinal ELBO, restart count and ruleELBO traces; posterior-quality check on a tractable case
SMC / particleParticle count, resampling scheme, ESS trajectoryVariance of the marginal-likelihood estimate over repeats
Conformal / intervalsSplit sizes, α grid, empirical coverageConditional coverage slices; width distribution
CalibrationBinning scheme, ECE definition usedReliability diagrams with confidence bands over seeds
Causal discoveryGraph generator, noise family, SHD/SID per seedSensitivity to assumption violations (unfaithfulness, confounding)

If a row's "minimum" column is missing for your method family, expect the backing criterion to absorb the damage.

Honesty over completeness

  • If code cannot be released (industrial constraints, licensed data), say so in the paper and compensate: fuller pseudocode, exact hyperparameters, synthetic surrogates for private datasets. The encouraged-not-mandatory wording gives room for honesty, not for vagueness.
  • Report failure modes you observed — initializations that collapse, chains that need longer warmup on one dataset. Probabilistic-ML reviewers trust papers that know where their method breaks.
  • Never let variance disappear in the retelling: if three of ten seeds underperform, the aggregate table must reflect it (mean ± sd over all ten, or a stated, principled selection rule).

Where reproducibility evidence lives

Split by tier deliberately: the availability statement and diagnostic summaries in the reviewed PDF (body or appendix), where they count toward backing; manifests, loaders, and per-run logs in the ZIP, where they support spot-checks. Never leave the only mention of seeds or repeat counts inside the optional archive — reviewers grade what the PDF says.

Pre-submission reproducibility drill

  1. Clone your own artifact onto a machine that never ran the project; follow only the README.
  2. Reproduce the smallest headline number end to end, including the diagnostic that validates it.
  3. Diff the regenerated figure against the paper's; investigate any visible deviation before a reviewer does.
  4. Grep the paper for every "we observe/we find/consistently" and confirm each maps to a logged run.
  5. Write the availability statement last, describing what is actually in the ZIP — not what was planned in January.
