What it does

Tech Article Reproducibility is an agent skill from mizchi/skills. Evaluate the reproducibility of technical articles. Dispatch a subagent to simulate a first-time reader reproducing the work locally and list missing information. Use as the final check on a draft before publication.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `README.md` and `SKILL-ja.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research and Subagents. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills by mizchi, distributed via APM.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Reproducible research
  • Tasks that involve Subagents

Example prompts

  • “/tech-article-reproducibility”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Fix the target article
  2. subagent dispatch (template below)
  3. Extract "reproduction sticking points" from the returned evaluation
  4. Add / fix text in the article to address those sticking points
  5. If needed, re-evaluate with a fresh subagent

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62f5808. 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

Tech Article Reproducibility loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 541 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 541 words (~1,381 tokens).

“Measure the quality of a technical article from the angle of "can a reader reproduce the same thing on their machine?" This is an independent axis from prose-style evaluation (mizchi-blog-style) or logical evaluation. The premise: the most important thing about…”
