prepare-artifacts

prepare-artifacts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skills. It costs 225 tokens per session (2,521 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A packaging guide for turning research code and data into a submission-ready reproducibility artifact. It explains the separate review process used by many research conferences and helps prepare its documentation and files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a README, appendix, run instructions, anonymized repository, archival guidance, readiness checklist, packaging plan, and artifact-directory checks.
Why use it?
It removes the uncertainty around artifact-review requirements, badges, anonymization, and archival deposits. It also makes clear what the package covers without claiming that the experiments reproduce successfully.

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

prepare-artifacts 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/badge_advisor.py, scripts/check_artifact.py, scripts/venue_profile.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prepare Artifacts

Turn a research codebase into a submittable, badge-ready reproducibility artifact. Artifact evaluation is a separate, post-acceptance track at most systems/PL/ML venues with its own deadline, its own appendix, and badges that change per venue per year — this skill builds the package (README, appendix, run instructions, anonymized repo, archival deposit guidance), produces an artifact-readiness checklist and a packaging plan, and lints the artifact directory for the bars reviewers actually check.

It does not run the author's experiments or claim a result reproduces — it prepares and checks the package, and tells the author exactly what reviewers will verify by hand.

When to use

  • "My paper was accepted — how do I do the artifact evaluation / get a badge?"
  • "Package / clean up my code for submission." / "anonymize my repo for review."
  • "What's an artifact appendix / Artifacts Available / Functional / Reusable?"
  • "Do I need a Zenodo DOI? concept vs version?" / "Software Heritage?"
  • "Fill out the NeurIPS code/reproducibility or ACL repro checklist."
  • "What does Reproduced vs Replicated mean for this badge?"
  • Alongside prepare-camera-ready (de-anonymization + final deposit overlap).

Inputs

  1. The artifact directory — the code/data repo to be packaged (path).
  2. The target venue + track, and ideally venues/conferences/<v>-<year>.yml (supplies the review blind level; create with parse-cfp if missing). The venue profile does NOT encode the artifact track's badge offering or its separate deadline — those are fetched live (step 1).
  3. The paper's major claims (for a per-claim reproduction plan) and whether the artifact is for review-phase (often double-blind) or the final deposit. These change everything (anonymized ZIP vs version DOI).

Process

  1. Fetch the venue's CURRENT Call for Artifacts — mandatory, live. Badge offerings vary per venue per year (OSDI '26 evaluates ONLY "Artifacts Available"; SOSP '26 offers all three). Memory and last year are stale by construction; verify live. From the live CFA confirm: which badges are offered this cycle, the separate artifact deadline, the archival-hosting requirement, the appendix template/length, and the blind model. Snapshots to start from (re-verify, don't trust): references/venue-artifact-rails.md. Record the chosen badge target + artifact deadline in .paper-memory/decisions.md.

What ships with it

Changes

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.
