data-science-experimentation

data-science-experimentation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from j4flmao/agent-skills. It costs 112 tokens per session (6,061 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An experiment-design guide for comparing product changes, such as with A/B tests, randomized trials, or bandits. It covers hypotheses, sample sizes, statistical checks, and decision rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Plan and analyze experiments, calculate how many users are needed, monitor primary and guardrail metrics, and decide whether a change worked.
Why use it?
It helps prevent misleading results caused by too little data, repeated testing, missing safety measures, or unclear success criteria.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

data-science-experimentation 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 4d 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.

Experimentation

Purpose

Design and analyze rigorous A/B tests and experiments. Enforce proper sample size planning, pre-registration, statistical methods, guardrail monitoring, and decision frameworks.

Agent Protocol

Trigger

Exact user phrases: "A/B test", "experiment", "randomized trial", "sample size", "power analysis", "hypothesis test", "p-value", "multiple testing", "guardrail metric", "experiment design", "treatment effect", "H0", "alternative hypothesis", "statistical significance", "practical significance", "MDE", "minimum detectable effect".

Input Context

  • Experiment type (A/B, multivariate, MAB, switchback)
  • Primary metric(s) and their baseline values
  • Minimum detectable effect (MDE) in absolute or relative terms
  • Traffic volume and expected experiment duration
  • Unit of randomization (user, session, cluster)
  • Guardrail metrics and acceptable thresholds
  • Regulatory and ethical considerations
  • Existing experiment platform and tooling

Output Artifact

Experiment design with sample size calculation, analysis plan, and decision criteria.

Response Format

## Experiment Design
Hypothesis: {H0 and H1}
Primary Metric: {name, baseline, MDE}
Sample Size: {N per variant, total N}
Duration: {days} at {traffic allocation}
Analysis: {test type, corrections, covariates}

## Analysis Results
Treatment Effect: {estimate, CI, p-value}
Practical Significance: {effect size, decision}
Guardrails: {√ or ✗ per metric}

Completion Criteria

  • Pre-registered hypothesis with H0 and H1
  • Sample size calculated for desired power (80%+)
  • Randomization method selected (simple, stratified, cluster)
  • Primary metric defined with baseline and MDE
  • Guardrail metrics defined with thresholds
  • Statistical test selected (t-test, chi-square, etc.)
  • Multiple testing correction applied
  • Decision criteria: ship, iterate, or kill

Workflow

Step 1: Hypothesis Development

Formulate clear, falsifiable hypotheses. H0 (null): no effect. H1 (alternative): effect exists in specified direction. A good hypothesis: "Changing the checkout button color from blue to green will increase purchase conversion rate by at least 0.5 percentage points." Pre-register on experiment platform or in documentation before launch. Include rationale, prior evidence, and expected mechanism of action.

What ships with it

Changes

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.

data-science-experimentation is a skill published in the GitHub repository j4flmao/agent-skills (22 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 6,061 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-09-03.
