asplos-artifact-evaluation

asplos-artifact-evaluation is a skill for Claude Code from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,482 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to preparing an ASPLOS research artifact for independent evaluation after acceptance. An artifact is the code, data, hardware description, or other material needed to inspect or run the work, and badges indicate how available and repeatable it is.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document software, hardware, and dataset dependencies, write the Artifact Appendix, archive materials publicly, create run instructions, and connect scripts to the paper's figures and tables.
Why use it?
It turns a paper's claimed results into something evaluators can actually access, install, run, and check. It also clarifies the different requirements for Available, Functional, and Reproducible badges.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

asplos-artifact-evaluation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ASPLOS Artifact Evaluation

Artifact evaluation at ASPLOS is a post-acceptance, opt-in, collaborative process: an independent committee works with authors to validate the paper's key results, and successful artifacts carry badges on the published paper (AE pages, checked 2026-07-08). It is also a tradition the venue itself highlights — systems readers increasingly treat an unbadged systems paper as a weaker citation. Treat AE as part of the publication, budgeted like a small sixth section.

The three badges and what each actually demands

Badge 2027 criterion (paraphrased from the AE pages) Practical bar
Available Artifact placed on a publicly accessible archival repository A DOI-issuing archive (institutional or Zenodo-class); a GitHub URL alone is not archival
Functional Evaluators can prepare and run the artifact; they document the steps they followed Clean-machine install + a smoke experiment that completes in minutes, not hours
Reproducible Evaluators validate the paper's key results Per-claim run scripts whose output maps visibly onto specific figures/tables

Evaluators assign scores per requested badge and record what they could and could not reproduce — so the artifact's job is to make their success path short and their failure modes diagnosable.

The Artifact Appendix is the contract

ASPLOS 2027 expects an Artifact Appendix built from the provided ae.tex template (or equivalent sections) covering: all software, hardware, and dataset dependencies; the key results to be reproduced; and how to prepare, run, and validate the experiments. Write it as if the evaluator is competent, busy, and using different hardware than yours:

  • Dependencies include the awkward ones: kernel versions, privileged access, BIOS settings, board models, expander firmware — everything from the state ledger in asplos-reproducibility.
  • "Key results" means a selected subset: pick the claims that define the paper, not all 40 bars of every figure. Ambition here creates failure reports.
  • Validation must be decidable: state the expected output and the tolerance within which the claim holds ("ordering preserved; absolute times ±15%").

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
