Guides the preparation and packaging of research artifacts for the ICSE Artifact Evaluation track to secure ACM badges.

Streamlines the post-acceptance ICSE Artifact Evaluation process by helping researchers package software artifacts to satisfy ACM badging criteria for Artifacts Available, Artifacts Reusable, and Results Reproduced. The skill provides step-by-step guidance for de-anonymizing review repositories, securing permanent DOI archival through Zenodo, selecting proper open-source licenses, and crafting evaluator-proof READMEs with fast smoke tests. It is essential for authors looking to eliminate submission pitfalls like bit-rot, missing dependencies, or mismatched paper claims ahead of tight January deadlines.
