reproduce SKILL.md skillA
reproduce from fcakyon/labrat is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add fcakyon/labrat/reproduce@git:20261030.b34f8aaPins git:20261030.b34f8aa in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

End-to-end paper reproduction from arxiv URL through smoke runs to replication experiments. Handles missing or partial official code, missing training scripts, missing hyperparameters, and private datasets via similar-public-dataset substitution. Use when the user asks to reproduce, implement, replicate, or re-run a paper from scratch, or pastes an arxiv URL with reproduction intent.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Reproduce: paper reproduction from scratch
Reproducing an ML paper often means filling gaps the authors didn't ship, training scripts, hyperparameter tables, augmentation specifics, exact dataset splits. This skill walks seven stages from "I have an arxiv link" to "I have a replication run with measurable delta vs the paper's number."
Each stage has a separate reference file under `references/` so this overview stays scannable.
## When to run
The user just said any of:
- "reproduce / implement / replicate / re-run paper X"
- pasted an arxiv URL with reproduction intent ("can you redo this", "let's try this approach")
- pointed at an OpenReview / proceedings link with the same intent
- said "the paper has no code, can we build it"
## Workflow
| Stage | What | Reference |
| ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | Paper acquisition (CLI + PDF → structured extract) | [references/01-paper-fetch.md](references/01-paper-fetch.md) |
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add fcakyon/labrat/reproduce@sha256:b0547496276fe2daThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.b34f8aa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
