What it does

Uist Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when making a UIST paper's results replicable — reporting implementation parameters and measurement protocols so a lab could rebuild the system, specifying hardware down to parts and calibration, logging technical evaluations deterministically, and writing honest availability statements for interface systems.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Making a UIST papers results replicable — reporting implementation parameters and measurement protocols so a lab could rebuild the system
  • Specifying hardware down to parts and calibration
  • Logging technical evaluations deterministically
  • Writing honest availability statements for interface systems

Example prompts

  • “/uist-reproducibility”

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:

    • 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

Uist Reproducibility loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 621 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
~1.7k

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.

UIST Reproducibility

Reproducibility at UIST means something different from rerunning a training script: the question is whether a competent lab could rebuild the artifact and reproduce its measured behavior. That decomposes into three ledgers — build, measurement, and study — and most UIST papers under-specify a different one than they think. UIST posts no reproducibility checklist (none found for 2026 — 待核实), so this discipline is self-imposed and reviewer-enforced.

The build ledger: could they make one?

Everything the system's behavior depends on, pinned:

  • Software: exact framework and driver versions, OS, lockfiles; for anything learned, model checkpoints and training data provenance.
  • Hardware: part numbers (not "an IMU" but which IMU), mechanical tolerances that matter, firmware version, and the calibration routine with expected outputs.
  • Environment: the physical conditions the system assumes — lighting range, acoustic environment, mounting geometry, surface materials.
  • Magic numbers: every threshold, filter coefficient, debounce window, and gain, with how each was set (tuned by hand? on which data?). These constants are where re-implementations actually fail.

The measurement ledger: could they get your numbers?

A latency or accuracy figure is reproducible only with its protocol:

Reported numberMust be pinned
LatencyMeasurement boundary (sensor-to-photon? software-only?), instrument, event count, load conditions
Recognition accuracyDataset splits, per-user vs pooled, session separation, chance level
Tracking errorGround-truth apparatus and its own accuracy, spatial sampling grid
Throughput / bitrateTask, phrase set or corpus, session and rest structure
Power / weight / costConfiguration measured, currency and date for cost

Automate the protocol: a measurement harness checked into the supplement converts "trust me" into "run this" (see uist-artifact-evaluation for packaging).

bash
# eval/rerun.sh — regenerate every reported number from raw logs
python analyze_latency.py logs/latency_10k.jsonl --out tables/table1.csv
python analyze_accuracy.py logs/study/ --split per-user --seed 17 --out tables/table2.csv
diff -u tables/table1.csv paper_tables/table1.csv   # drift check against the PDF

Log at the event level with timestamps and raw sensor values, not just computed outcomes — future you, rebuttal you (see uist-author-response), and replicating labs all consume the same logs.

The study ledger: could they rerun the human part?

For any user evaluation: full task instructions and stimuli, counterbalancing scheme, practice/rest structure, apparatus placement (photograph it), inclusion/exclusion criteria, compensation, and the analysis scripts from raw logs to reported statistics. Share instruments even when raw human data cannot leave the IRB envelope — protocol transparency and data availability are separable, and saying so precisely is the honest move.

The availability statement

Write one even though UIST does not require a template, and make it specific:

text
GOOD: "Firmware, PCB design files, BOM, and the measurement harness are at
      <archive-DOI> (tag: as-published). The gesture corpus (14 of 16
      participants consented to release) is included; per-participant raw
      video is withheld under IRB #—. The two commercial tracking SDKs
      required are named in BUILD.md with tested versions."
BAD:  "Code available upon reasonable request."

Papers with learned components inherit ML reporting norms too — seeds, training configs, compute — and can borrow the shared kit's checklists (see ../../resources/code/README.md).

Learned components inherit ML norms

When the system embeds recognition or generation models, the ML reporting conventions stack on top of the systems ledgers:

  • Seeds, splits, and training configs pinned; per-user vs pooled evaluation made explicit (interaction data is brutally user-dependent, and pooled splits inflate accuracy).
  • For third-party or hosted models: exact model identifiers and versions, the full prompt set, decoding parameters, and dated transcripts — hosted models drift, so the logged behavior is the only permanent record of what reviewers saw.
  • Report the interactive costs alongside accuracy: per-inference latency on the deployment hardware, and per-session cost for metered APIs; a technique that is reproducible but unaffordable to run is only half-replicable.
  • The shared kit's checklists cover this lane; the adapter in resources/code/README.md scopes what it can and cannot check.

The one-page REPRO.md

Compress the three ledgers into a single file at the archive root:

markdown
# Reproducing <SystemName> (paper §6-7)
## Rebuild        parts: BOM.csv · firmware: v2.3 · calibration: docs/calib.md
## Environment    tested: indoor 200-800 lux, 18-26°C · assumes: mounted per Fig 4
## Constants      thresholds in config.yaml — tuned on pilot data (n=4), §5.2
## Remeasure      eval/rerun.sh regenerates Tables 1-2 from logs/ (or raw capture)
## Study          instruments/ · counterbalancing: latin square, §7.1 · IRB #—
## Known drift    accuracy drops outdoors (§9); p95 latency sensitive to BLE stack

The "known drift" line is the credibility multiplier: it tells replicators you know where the envelope ends before they find out.

Replication drift and its uses

When a rebuilt system misses the paper's numbers, the causes rank: unstated environmental assumptions, hand-tuned constants, part substitutions, then genuine bugs. Pre-empt the first two by stating the envelope and the tuning story in the paper body — it costs three sentences and buys the paper years of credibility (and Lasting Impact eligibility runs on decade-scale credibility).
