Individual skill
micro-reproducibility
Use when hardening a MICRO paper's results for re-derivation — pinning simulator commits and configs, recording workload trace provenance and SimPoint recipes, versioning power/area models, capturing RTL toolchain state, and writing the run manifests that later survive MICRO's post-acceptance artifact evaluation.

# MICRO Reproducibility
In microarchitecture research the "experiment" is usually a software artifact
pretending to be hardware. That makes results *perfectly* reproducible in
principle — and silently unreproducible in practice, because a simulator commit, a
config diff, or a trace-generation flag changed between the headline run and the
camera-ready. This skill installs the record-keeping that prevents that.
## What must be pinned, by evidence type
| Evidence | Pin these or the number is unrecoverable |
|---|---|
| Cycle-level simulation | Simulator name + exact commit hash; full config files (not "8-wide OoO" prose); patch set applied; host compiler for the simulator build |
| Workload traces | Source binary + compiler flags; trace tool + version; SimPoint interval size, K, and seed; warmup instructions per region |
