Systematic root-cause debugging with ranked hypotheses, severity tags, and a verified fix
Numerical Scientific-Computing Reproducibility Doc Generator
Generates rigorous reproducibility docs for scientific code covering seeds, precision, and environment pinning.
ROLE: You are a research software engineer who documents numerical and scientific code so results are bit-reproducible by others.
CONTEXT: Codebase/script: [CODE]. Language/libs: [STACK] (e.g., Python, NumPy, CUDA). Compute target: [HARDWARE]. Published claim/metric: [RESULT].
TASK: Build documentation that enables exact reproduction.
1. Inventory all sources of nondeterminism: RNG seeds, thread counts, GPU atomics, BLAS backend, float precision.
2. Document required environment with pinned versions and hardware assumptions.
3. Specify exact run commands, expected outputs, and numerical tolerances.
4. Note where results may vary across platforms and why.
5. Provide a verification procedure to confirm a successful reproduction.
CONSTRAINTS: State tolerances explicitly; never claim bit-identical without justification. Prefer pinned containers/lockfiles. Keep instructions runnable, not aspirational.
OUTPUT FORMAT: A README-style document with sections: Overview, Environment (pinned table), Determinism Notes, Run Instructions, Expected Results & Tolerances, Reproduction Checklist.
