create-experiment

create-experiment is a skill for Claude Code from harness/harness-skills. It costs 140 tokens per session (941 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A compatibility entry point for creating a Harness FME experiment, which compares treatments such as different feature-flag settings. It passes the request to the experiment-management workflow and returns the created experiment's details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start an experiment with a parent flag and environment, define what is being tested, choose measurements and treatments, and verify the result.
Why use it?
It keeps a direct create-experiment command available without maintaining a second creation process. The shared workflow handles the experiment's scope, hypothesis, metrics, treatments, time window, and rule.

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

create-experiment 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Experiment

Compatibility entrypoint kept for direct /create-experiment invocation. This skill does not duplicate any workflow - it hands the entire creation flow to manage-experiments's Create experiment section and returns once that flow completes.

Tools

Performs no operations of its own; it uses the operations of manage-experiments' Create experiment flow, named in tool-map.md.

Instructions

Step 1: Delegate

Read manage-experiments/SKILL.md and follow its Phase 1: Establish scope and Create experiment section (Steps 1-8) exactly as written, using the current request's scope (org/project), parent flag + environment, hypothesis, metrics, treatments, window (startAt/endAt), and rule. Do not re-derive or re-interpret any of that section's logic here - this skill has no independent instructions for resolving treatments, choosing metrics, or drafting the payload; it only exists so /create-experiment remains a valid invocation.

If the tool interface you're running under can't follow a markdown link to load another skill's file on demand, read skills/fme/manage-experiments/SKILL.md directly (same repo, relative path) and proceed the same way.

Step 2: Return the result

Once manage-experiments' Step 8 (Verify) completes, report the created experiment's id, status, and the verified fields (baseline/comparison treatments, key/supporting metrics, rule) back to the user. Don't add a second verification pass - manage-experiments' Step 8 is authoritative.

Examples

  • "Create an experiment on the new-checkout flag" → delegate to manage-experiments Create flow, return created id
  • "Set up an A/B test for the pricing page" → same delegation
  • "Pause experiment pricing_test_2" → not this skill; route to manage-experiments (Update)
  • "Did the checkout experiment win?" → not this skill; route to review-experiment-results

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.
