Individual skill

reproduce

Reproduces a paper's result, a claim, an artifact or a previous run with the target and success criterion frozen first, the canonical code path run before any substitute, exact inputs, environment, seeds and commands captured, and a verdict from a fixed set, reproduced, reproduced within tolerance, partially reproduced, not reproduced, or untestable. Use for "reproduce", "replicate", "re-run", "does this hold", or checking a result before building on it. Not for open-ended exploration or for improving the result (use autoresearch).

# Reproduce

A reproduction is a measurement of a claim. Its value comes from deciding, before anything
runs, exactly what number would count as success, and from writing down exactly what was
run so the next person can measure it again. A reproduction that adjusts its target after
seeing the result is not one.

## Non-negotiables

1. **Freeze the target first.** The claim, the metric and its direction, the expected value
   with its uncertainty, the tolerance, and the dataset, split and conditions it applies
   to, written down before execution. If the source gives no uncertainty, choose a
   tolerance and say why.
2. **Canonical path before substitutes.** Run the authors' code, config, checkpoint and
