vis-artifact-evaluation
Use when packaging an IEEE VIS artifact for the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (GRSI) / TVCG Replicability Stamp and the IEEE VIS Open Practices program, covering what an independent GRSI volunteer reproduces first, DOI-issuing archives, evaluator-proof documentation for visualization code and data, and how VIS reproducibility differs from ACM-style artifact badges.

# VIS Artifact Evaluation Use this for the reproducibility track. IEEE VIS does not use ACM-style artifact badges; its recognition is the **Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (GRSI)** — issued to TVCG papers as the **TVCG Replicability Stamp** — plus the conference's **Open Practices** program. Two things to internalize: the stamp is earned by an **independent volunteer actually reproducing your results** from a public archive, and the review artifact (anonymized, for your paper's reviewers) is not the same deliverable as the stamp artifact (de-anonymized, permanently archived). ## What GRSI certifies (verify the current process) | Mechanism | What it certifies | What earns it | |---|---|---| | TVCG Replicability Stamp (GRSI) | An independent volunteer reproduced the paper's results from your code/data | A public repository + a single documented build/run path that regenerates the key figures/results | | Open Practices disclosures | Transparent reporting of open code, data, preprints, preregistration | Filling the camera-ready Open Practices form honestly and posting the materials | Unlike a graded badge ladder, the stamp is **binary**: an evaluator either reproduces your resu

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill vis-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.
