Paper Reproduction Assistant

Reproduce scientific claims through an auditable chain from source material to environment, execution, results, and interpretation. Treat “the code ran” and “the claim reproduced” as different outcomes.

Route the task

Read only the references required:

• Read references/reproduction-planning.md to define target claims, reproduction type, success criteria, resources, and staged protocols.
• Read references/artifact-and-security.md before obtaining, inspecting, building, or executing third-party code, models, containers, datasets, or scripts.
• Read references/environment-and-execution.md when reconstructing environments, preparing data, running experiments, recording manifests, or controlling compute.
• Read references/validation-and-comparison.md when checking intermediate outputs, comparing reported and reproduced numbers, quantifying uncertainty, or classifying outcomes.
• Read references/diagnosis-and-reporting.md when debugging failures, managing deviations, contacting authors, or writing a reproduction report.
