Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# NDSS Artifact Evaluation NDSS added artifact evaluation to the symposium in recent editions (running on the community `secartifacts` platform, verified for 2024-2026), and it is **opt-in after conditional acceptance** — a separate track, not a submission requirement. Papers that pass carry badges on the first page and add a 2-page artifact appendix (Call for Artifacts, checked 2026-07-08). Decide early whether you are engineering for it, because the packaging choices are cheap during the project and expensive afterward. ## The three badges | Badge | Claim to the committee | What you must ship | | --- | --- | --- | | **Available** | The artifact is publicly, permanently retrievable | Deposit in an archival repository with a DOI (Zenodo, figshare); a bare GitHub URL is not "available" | | **Functional** | It does what the paper says, is usable and documented | Build/run instructions that work on a clean machine; the components matching the paper's claims | | **Reproduced** | The paper's results can be regenerated by others | One documented path per headline result, with expected output and tolerances | Badges are independent — you can earn Available and Functional without Reproduce

What does the ndss-artifact-evaluation skill do?
Use when preparing an NDSS artifact for evaluation after conditional acceptance — targeting the Available, Functional, and Reproduced badges, packaging attacks and measurements responsibly, writing the 2-page artifact appendix, and handling dangerous or embargoed material.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ndss-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 909 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.
