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.
Scitex Repro includes a dedicated installation section; at least one code block.

How Scitex Repro fits the catalog
Scitex Repro sits in the Science & Research category under the science-misc sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.
These notes are auto-generated from features detected in the SKILL.md file and from this catalog's structure — they aren't part of the source repository.

Small utility package that bundles the reproducibility helpers extracted from the monolithic scitex.repro module. Four concerns:
What this skill does
Scitex Repro is a community-contributed Claude Code skill 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 Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 115,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/scitex-repro/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.
Skills live at ~/.claude/skills/scitex-repro/SKILL.md on macOS/Linux, or %USERPROFILE%\.claude\skills\scitex-repro\SKILL.md on Windows. See the full install guide for step-by-step instructions.

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Scitex Repro skill?
Use Scitex Repro when your Claude Code task falls under the Science & Research category — specifically in the science misc area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Scitex Repro" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/science/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Scitex Repro skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Scitex Repro is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category.
