Scitex Repro
lang:python
Reproducibility helpers for scientific Python experiments — unified seeded random-state for `random`/`numpy`/`torch`/`tf`, experiment ID + timestamp generation, and deterministic hashing of numpy arrays. Public API (9 symbols) — random state (`RandomStateManager` — class that fixes seeds across `random`, `numpy.random`, `torch`, `tensorflow`, `os.environ[PYTHONHASHSEED]` in one call; `get(seed=42)` factory returning a configured instance; `reset(seed=None)` rewinds all RNGs), ID/timestamp generation (`gen_ID(n=8)`, `gen_id(n=8)` alias, `gen_timestamp()`, `timestamp()` alias — producing strings suitable for experiment/run directory names), array hashing (`hash_array(arr)` — deterministic hex digest of a numpy array's values for experiment fingerprinting), legacy shim (`fix_seeds(seed=...)` — deprecated wrapper kept for older scripts). No CLI, no MCP tools. Drop-in replacement for hand-rolled "seed all frameworks" functions (`random.seed` + `np.random.seed` + `torch.manual_seed` + `torch.cuda.manual_seed_all` + `tf.random.set_seed` boilerplate), ad-hoc timestamp strings via `datetime.now().strftime(...)` in run dirs, and bespoke `hashlib.sha256(arr.tobytes())` one-liners. Use whenever the user asks to "seed this experiment deterministically", "seed numpy and torch together", "generate an experiment ID for this run", "make an output folder name like 20261023_1530_abc12345", "hash a numpy array for reproducibility", "reset the RNG mid-experiment", or mentions `RandomStateManager`, `gen_ID`, `hash_array`, `scitex.repro`, seed-everything.
What this skill does
Scitex Repro is a production-ready Claude Code skill (quality score 70/100) in the science-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/scitex-repro/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use whenever the user asks to "seed this experiment deterministically", "seed numpy and torch together", "generate an experiment ID for this run", "make an output folder name like 20261023_1530_abc12345", "hash a numpy array for reproducibility", "reset the RNG mid-experiment", or mentions `RandomStateManager`, `gen_ID`, `hash_array`, `scitex.repro`, seed-everything.
Who uses this skill
The Scitex Repro skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It is part of the open ClaudSkills registry, a community-curated catalog of 15,000+ capabilities you can install for Claude Code — the Claude CLI agent.
How to install
