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

  • Hardening the reproducibility of a WSDM paper built on logs
  • User-interaction data - provenance of behavioral datasets
  • Temporal split discipline
  • Click-bias assumptions

Example prompts

  • “/wsdm-reproducibility”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Rerunnable: public data + released code; anyone can regenerate tables.
  2. Rebuildable: released code + documented proprietary pipeline; an insider
  3. Attested: online/production results reported with measurement protocol

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 yaml).

    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

Wsdm Reproducibility loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 645 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
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.

description
Use when hardening the reproducibility of a WSDM paper built on logs, graphs, or user-interaction data - provenance of behavioral datasets, temporal split discipline, click-bias assumptions, seed and variance reporting, privacy-preserving release, and honesty tiers for results no outsider can rerun.

WSDM Reproducibility

Make a web-search/data-mining paper re-derivable. WSDM has no reproducibility checklist to fill (none surfaced for current editions; 待核实 each cycle) - which raises the bar rather than lowering it, because reviewers apply the norm without giving you a form to hide behind. The venue-specific twist: WSDM evidence usually comes from behavioral data (queries, clicks, follows, purchases), and behavioral data has failure modes that generic ML reproducibility advice never mentions.

Provenance: behavioral data decays

A log dataset is a measurement of a platform at a moment - the platform's ranker, UI, and user base are all baked into it. Reproducibility therefore starts with recording what generated the data:

  • Collection window, platform surface (web vs app, market/locale), and any known ranker or UI changes inside the window.
  • The logging policy: what produced the exposures users could click on. A click log is a logged-policy artifact; results on it are conditional on that policy (this is the entire lesson of the position-bias and unbiased learning-to-rank literature born at this venue).
  • Filtering steps with counts at every stage: bots removed, sessions segmented, minimum-activity thresholds. Two labs "using the same dataset" routinely diverge purely on preprocessing counts.

Temporal discipline

Random splits on interaction data leak the future into training. Default to time-based splits and document them to the day:

yaml
# split-manifest.yaml - ship with the artifact, cite in the paper
dataset: platform-logs-v3
train:  {start: 2025-01-06, end: 2025-05-31}
valid:  {start: 2025-06-01, end: 2025-06-14}
test:   {start: 2025-06-15, end: 2025-06-28}
user_handling: users may span splits (temporal, not user-disjoint)
item_handling: cold items in test retained; reported separately
leakage_checks:
  - no feature computed over any window overlapping valid/test
  - global statistics (IDF, popularity) frozen at train end
notes: one ranker deployment change on 2025-04-12 inside train window

State whether users are shared across splits (temporal split) or disjoint (generalization-to-new-users split) - the two answer different questions and mixing them is a classic silent irreproducibility source in recommendation papers.

Bias assumptions are part of the method

If the paper estimates relevance or preference from clicks, its results depend on an exposure/position-bias model. Reproducibility means naming it:

What you assumeWhat must be reported
Position bias (examination model)The propensity model, how it was estimated, on what data
No exposure bias (rare, say so)Why the setting justifies it
Popularity/selection bias correctedThe correction estimator and its hyperparameters
Offline metrics proxy online valueThe known gap, plus any online evidence

An unstated bias model makes the numbers unreproducible even with the code, because a re-implementer will pick a different default.

Runs, seeds, and variance

  • Report the number of runs and the seed policy for every learned component; ranking metrics on sparse test sets are noisy, and single-run nDCG deltas of under a point are routinely within seed variance.
  • Give variance (std or CI) for headline comparisons; where a system-scale experiment genuinely cannot be repeated, say "single run" in the table note rather than letting the reader assume otherwise.
  • Statistical tests over query/user-level paired differences beat aggregate deltas; state the unit of analysis (query, session, user) - it changes the test.

The honesty ladder for unrerunnable results

Industrial WSDM papers often include numbers nobody outside can regenerate (online A/B tests, full-traffic logs). Use graded language that matches the evidence tier, and put the tier in the paper:

  1. Rerunnable: public data + released code; anyone can regenerate tables.
  2. Rebuildable: released code + documented proprietary pipeline; an insider could regenerate, an outsider can audit the logic.
  3. Attested: online/production results reported with measurement protocol (traffic share, duration, metric definitions, guardrails) but not regenerable. Attested numbers support deployment claims, not method-ranking claims - do not let an A/B win stand in for a missing offline comparison.

Privacy is a reproducibility constraint, not an excuse

WSDM requires an ethical-considerations section; user-data handling belongs in it. De-identification, aggregation thresholds, and consent/ToS basis for the data should be stated - and any released sample must survive a re-identification sniff test (rare queries and long-tail items are quasi-identifiers). "We cannot release anything" is acceptable only alongside rung 2-3 evidence above and a public-benchmark mirror where feasible (see wsdm-artifact-evaluation).

Pre-submission reproducibility sweep

Run once when experiments freeze, once on the final PDF:

text
[ ] Data provenance paragraph: window, surface, logging policy, filters+counts
[ ] Split manifest shipped and cited; user-sharing across splits stated
[ ] Bias/exposure model named, with estimation procedure and data
[ ] Seeds and run counts per learned component; variance on headline deltas
[ ] Unit of analysis named for every statistical test
[ ] Each result family labeled: rerunnable / rebuildable / attested
[ ] Attested results carry protocol: traffic %, duration, metric definitions
[ ] Released sample re-identification check done (rare queries, tail items)
[ ] Ethics section covers user-data basis and mitigations, specifically
[ ] Repo numbers regenerate paper tables (spot-check two tables end-to-end)

Items that fail with no time to fix become limitation sentences, not silence - at a no-rebuttal venue, a disclosed gap is survivable and a discovered one usually is not.

Output format

text
[Provenance] window / surface / logging policy / filter counts: recorded? 
[Splits] temporal manifest present; user-sharing stated: yes / no
[Bias model] named + estimation reported: yes / no / not applicable
[Variance] runs, seeds, CI/test + unit of analysis per headline table
[Tier] rerunnable / rebuildable / attested per result family
[Privacy] ethics-section coverage of user data: adequate / gaps listed
