What it does

Vis Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when strengthening IEEE VIS reproducibility and open-practices evidence, covering the open-materials statement, anonymized-but-runnable code and stimuli, preregistration of perceptual and user studies, provenance for datasets and rendering pipelines, claim-to-figure mapping, honest degrees of reproducibility, and consistency between what the TVCG paper says and what the supplemental archive contains.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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. 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

  • Strengthening IEEE VIS reproducibility and open-practices evidence
  • Covering the open-materials statement
  • Anonymized-but-runnable code and stimuli
  • Preregistration of perceptual and user studies

Example prompts

  • “/vis-reproducibility”

Requirements

  • Docker

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

Vis Reproducibility loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 strengthening IEEE VIS reproducibility and open-practices evidence, covering the open-materials statement, anonymized-but-runnable code and stimuli, preregistration of perceptual and user studies, provenance for datasets and rendering pipelines, claim-to-figure mapping, honest degrees of reproducibility, and consistency between what the TVCG paper says and what the supplemental archive contains.

VIS Reproducibility

Use this before submission and again before camera-ready. IEEE VIS's Open Practices posture and the Graphics Replicability Stamp make reproducibility a visible dimension, not a courtesy: reviewers routinely open the supplemental code, data, and video, and the TVCG camera-ready collects open-practices disclosures. The goal is that a competent reader could rebuild your figures, rerun your study analysis, and reach your conclusions.

Evidence map

  • Map each figure, quantitative result, and study finding to a verifiable location — a section, a figure generated from logged data, or a script in the supplemental archive.
  • For techniques and rendering, give enough of the algorithm, parameters, and environment (including GPU/driver assumptions and tolerances) that a reader could re-implement or re-run.
  • For empirical and perceptual studies, report participants and recruitment, apparatus/stimuli, the task, the design (within/between), measures, statistics, and the analysis scripts.
  • Keep the open-materials statement truthful and specific: what is shared, where it lives, and — if something cannot be shared — exactly why.
  • Keep the paper and the archive consistent: a number in the PDF that no script reproduces is the contradiction reviewers read as carelessness.

Open-materials statement audit

Claim in the paperWeak availability answerVIS-ready answer
"We render/lay out X""Code available on request"Public, licensed repo with a build path that regenerates the teaser figure
"Our system supports task Y""Demo will be released"Runnable build (or Docker) with bundled sample data and a demo script
"N participants judged Z"Nothing (privacy cited vaguely)Anonymized responses, stimuli, the analysis notebook, and the ethics/consent note
"We evaluated on dataset D"Named but not sharedThe dataset or documented access + the preprocessing scripts

"Available on request" reads as not available; convert every such line into a concrete, anonymized archive or an explicit, justified exception.

Preregistration for studies (a distinctly VIS-valued move)

Perceptual experiments and controlled user studies benefit from preregistration (e.g., on OSF): locking hypotheses, design, sample size, and the analysis plan before data collection separates confirmatory from exploratory findings and blunts the "you fished for that result" objection.

text
[Preregister]  hypotheses, conditions, planned N + power analysis, primary DV, analysis plan
[Cite it]      reference the (anonymized) preregistration in the paper; report deviations honestly
[Separate]     label confirmatory vs. exploratory results; do not present post-hoc as planned

Provenance pinning

text
[Datasets]   record source and version; archive the actual data or stimuli, not just a query/URL;
             document any cleaning/filtering with the script
[Rendering]  pin toolchain and library versions; provide reference images and a comparison
             tolerance for GPU-dependent or non-deterministic output
[Studies]    store raw per-participant responses (anonymized), the exact stimuli, and timing
[Compute]    state hardware and runtime so a reader can size a reproduction
[Randomness] log seeds; say what is and is not deterministic
Show full SKILL.md (235 more words)Show less

Degrees of reproducibility (state the one you achieved)

  • Turnkey: one documented command regenerates each figure/result from logged data.
  • Scripted: scripts exist but need documented manual steps, large data, or specific hardware.
  • Descriptive: prose detailed enough that a competent reader could rebuild the pipeline.

For VIS, aim turnkey for anything an evaluator might rerun quickly (a figure from logged benchmark data, a study's statistics from anonymized responses); a large rendering benchmark or a proprietary dataset may stay scripted with access clearly documented. Stating the achieved level honestly beats promising turnkey behavior that fails on a clean machine — the GRSI stamp is decided exactly there.

Vignette: a technique-plus-study paper

A paper contributing a new encoding and a controlled study evaluating it. Its reproducibility spine: the encoding code with a script that regenerates each figure; the study's stimuli and anonymized per-participant responses; the preregistration for the confirmatory hypotheses; the analysis notebook that turns responses into the reported effect sizes and CIs; and one honest sentence about anything (identifiable video, proprietary data) that cannot be shared and why.

Consistency and camera-ready pass

  • Before submission: every scored number and figure traces to the archive; the open-materials statement matches reality; if double-blind, the archive is anonymized (no owner strings, lab names, or institutional URLs).
  • Before camera-ready: swap anonymized links for permanent, DOI-issuing archives, complete the Open Practices form, and align the package with what you submit to GRSI (vis-artifact-evaluation).
