hypothesis-test

hypothesis-test is a skill for Claude Code from ChrisGVE/localdata-mcp. It costs 31 tokens per session (657 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for testing whether differences between groups are likely to reflect a real pattern rather than random variation. It checks the data and chooses a suitable statistical test before explaining the result in plain language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare two or more groups, test a specific claim, and assess whether a difference is meaningful.
Why use it?
It helps avoid using the wrong test or overlooking missing data, uneven groups, or unsuitable assumptions. It also reports effect size, which shows how large the difference is, not only whether it is statistically detectable.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hypothesis-test scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hypothesis Test

Select and run the appropriate statistical test based on data characteristics, with full assumption checking and effect size reporting.

Steps

  1. Explore the data. Call describe_database with the database name from $ARGUMENTS. Identify the columns to compare and the grouping variable. Call get_data_quality_report to check for missing values that could bias results.

  2. Extract and inspect. Call execute_query to pull the relevant columns. Determine:

    • Number of groups (2 vs 3+)
    • Sample size per group
    • Whether observations are paired or independent
    • Whether the outcome is continuous or categorical
  3. Check assumptions. Call execute_query to compute summary statistics per group (mean, median, sd, skewness). Assess:

    • Normality: skewness beyond +/-1 or small samples (n < 30) suggest non-parametric tests
    • Variance homogeneity: ratio of largest to smallest group SD above 2 suggests unequal variances
    • Sample balance: highly unequal group sizes affect test power
  4. Select and run the test. Based on the assessment:

    • 2 groups, normal, equal variance: call analyze_hypothesis_test with independent t-test
    • 2 groups, normal, unequal variance: call analyze_hypothesis_test with Welch's t-test
    • 2 groups, non-normal: call analyze_hypothesis_test with Mann-Whitney U
    • 2 groups, paired: call analyze_hypothesis_test with paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank
    • 3+ groups: call analyze_anova with appropriate post-hoc tests
    • Categorical outcome: call analyze_hypothesis_test with chi-squared test
  5. Compute effect sizes. Call analyze_effect_sizes with the same data. Report Cohen's d (two groups), eta-squared (ANOVA), or Cramer's V (chi-squared). Classify as small, medium, or large.

  6. Interpret results. Present:

    • Hypotheses stated in plain language
    • Test selected and why (citing assumption check results)
    • Test statistic, degrees of freedom, p-value
    • Effect size with confidence interval
    • One-sentence conclusion: what this means for the question at hand

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hypothesis-test is a skill published in the GitHub repository ChrisGVE/localdata-mcp (4 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 657 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
