Prepare Artifacts

Turn a research codebase into a submittable, badge-ready reproducibility artifact. Artifact evaluation is a separate, post-acceptance track at most systems/PL/ML venues with its own deadline, its own appendix, and badges that change per venue per year — this skill builds the package (README, appendix, run instructions, anonymized repo, archival deposit guidance), produces an artifact-readiness checklist and a packaging plan, and lints the artifact directory for the bars reviewers actually check.

It does not run the author's experiments or claim a result reproduces — it prepares and checks the package, and tells the author exactly what reviewers will verify by hand.
