Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in Coakley et alK. L. Coakley, T. Snelleman, H. Hoos, and O. E. Gundersen, "The embrace of open science: An analysis of a decade of AI research and 56 800 conference papers," Under Review, 2026..

Open Source Code Yes Our code is zipped and attached as a supplementary file for reproducibility.
Open Datasets Yes To organize task streams, we use three image classification datasets: CIFAR100 (100 classes) [18], Image Net-R (200 classes) [12], and Plant Disease (38 classes) [25].
Dataset Splits Yes We divide CIFAR-100 and Image Net-R into 10 tasks to create Split CIFAR-100 (i.e., 10 classes per task) and Split Image Net-R (i.e., 20 classes per task), respectively [38, 37, 31]. For Plant Disease, we drop 3 plant disease classes with very few images and organize the remaining 35 classes into 7 tasks to create Split Plant Disease (i.e., 5 classes per task).
Hardware Specification Yes We use an NVIDIA RTX 3090 to cover a wide range of memory capacities while maintaining consistent computational power.
Software Dependencies No For all prompt-based CL methods, we employ the ADAM optimizer [15] with hyperparameters β1 = 0.990 and β2 = 0.999, following their original implementation.
Experiment Setup Yes For all prompt-based CL methods, we employ the ADAM optimizer [15] with hyperparameters β1 = 0.990 and β2 = 0.999, following their original implementation. For prompt selection, we set the prompt pool size to 10 and the prompt length to 5, following the original implementations of L2P, Dual Prompt, and Hi De-Prompt. For CODA-Prompt, we implement a cosine-decay learning rate strategy described in [31], while other prompt-based baselines use a fixed learning rate of 1.875 10 3 by default. We consistently use the mini-batch size of 16 for all methods to maintain a uniform computational load for each training iteration. For fair comparisons, each method performs 1875, 1080, and 2583 iterations per task for Split CIFAR-100 [18], Split Image Net-R [12], and Split Plant Disease [25], respectively.
