# HPCA Artifact Evaluation Use this to prepare an HPCA artifact for the badge round. HPCA's artifact evaluation is **voluntary, post-acceptance, and run on a separate HotCRP** (`hpca<year>ae.hotcrp.com`) under **IEEE reproducibility badging** — not the ACM Artifact Review and Badging policy the ACM-touched siblings use. Package for the IEEE pipeline and for an evaluator who has never seen your infrastructure. ## Scope the reproducibility tiers Not every claim can be reproduced cheaply. Decide, per headline result, what an evaluator can realistically achieve and say so: - **Full reproduction** — the evaluator regenerates the headline numbers from source. The strongest badge target; reserve it for results whose pipeline you can shrink to fit an evaluator's budget. - **Regeneration from logs** — the evaluator rebuilds figures from provided raw output when a full run is too long or needs licensed workloads. - **Inspection** — the evaluator confirms the code implements the mechanism when hardware or license constraints block execution. State each result's tier in the artifact README so evaluators are not surprised. ## Package for a cold-start evaluator The evaluator has no license to yo

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill hpca-artifact-evaluation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
