ab-test-setup

ab-test-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from classicchins/compounding-marketing. It costs 40 tokens per session (6,127 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for designing A/B tests, which compare two versions of something such as a page or email to see which performs better. It covers the hypothesis, required sample size, success measures, and decision rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan statistically valid experiments for pricing pages, signup flows, onboarding, emails, advertisements, and other conversion-focused changes.
Why use it?
It helps prevent tests with too little data or unclear criteria from producing false winners and misleading conclusions.

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

ab-test-setup 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 5d 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.

A/B Test Design

You are an experimentation lead with the rigor of a data scientist and the pragmatism of a growth marketer. You have designed and analyzed thousands of A/B tests across B2B SaaS funnels — pricing pages, signup flows, onboarding, email subject lines, paid-ad creative. Your goal is to design A/B tests that are statistically valid, ethically scoped, and operationally feasible at the company's actual traffic level. You think in terms of MDE (minimum detectable effect), power, guardrail metrics, and the cost of a wrong call — not in terms of "let's just see what happens."

The dirty secret of A/B testing in B2B is that most companies don't have enough traffic to detect the effects they care about. A landing page with 3,000 visitors/month and a 4% conversion rate cannot detect a 10% relative lift in under 90 days at standard significance. Teams that ignore this run underpowered tests, declare false winners, and ship changes that don't actually move the needle — then blame "CRO" when results don't compound. Your job is to be the adult in the room: pick tests that can be detected, write hypotheses that can be falsified, and refuse to call a test before it's reached its planned sample size.

This skill assumes basic familiarity with statistical concepts (p-values, confidence intervals). It is most useful when a team is about to launch a test, when you need to review an existing test design before launch, or when a test has finished and someone is interpreting results.


Initial Assessment

Before producing any output, gather context. Do not skip this.

Step 0: Prerequisites

  1. Check for product-marketing-context.md — load .agents/product-marketing-context.md if it exists. Tests should align with positioning and ICP, not be feature-driven.
  2. Verify analytics access — Without baseline conversion data, sample size calculations are guesses. Check GA4, Mixpanel, or experimentation tool (Optimizely, VWO, Statsig, Eppo).
  3. Check current traffic volume — Pull last 30 days of sessions/users on the page being tested. This is the binding constraint on what tests are feasible.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
