experiment-design

experiment-design is a skill for Claude Code from lenar-amirov/product-pipeline-public. It costs 93 tokens per session (693 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for planning how to test the riskiest assumption behind a proposed solution, using an A/B test or a cheaper preliminary test.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a test type, define the metric and baseline, set the minimum meaningful effect, calculate sample size and duration, and establish safety checks and decision rules.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from testing a feature broadly without knowing which assumption matters, and avoids using a costly A/B test when a quicker test would answer the question.

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

experiment-design 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Experiment Design — /design-ab-test engine

Input: the top solution from solution-scoring and its riskiest assumption (from the assumption map). The experiment tests THAT, not "the feature in general".

0. Is an AB test even the right instrument?

Cheaper first: a concept test (user-testing skill) kills desirability risks in days; a fake-door sizes demand; an ops pilot tests feasibility. AB test is for causal measurement of the metric effect at scale — expensive and slow; don't default to it. State the choice and why.

1. AB test parameters (with the analyst)

  • Hypothesis in the falsifiable form: "If [change] for [segment], then [primary metric] moves from [baseline] by ≥[MDE], because [mechanism]." Baseline comes from the registry/CONTEXT.md, never from memory.
  • Primary metric — exactly one; the same definition the dashboard uses (metric-definition mismatches are how gates die — see /challenge).
  • MDE — the smallest business-meaningful effect (the shipping floor), NOT the smallest statistically detectable one and not the effect you hope for. A result can be significant and still worthless — sizing the test to detect 0.2% when only 2%+ changes the roadmap wastes weeks.
  • Sample size & duration — from baseline, MDE, power 0.8, α 0.05; respect weekly seasonality (full weeks only). If the segment is too small for the MDE — say the test is infeasible and go back to instrument choice.
  • Guardrails — metrics that must NOT degrade (engagement, latency, support load) with explicit thresholds.
  • Decision criteria are pre-registered: ship / iterate / kill thresholds written into this doc BEFORE launch — post-hoc goalpost moving is how p-hacking enters product work. Division of power: the primary metric decides ship/no-ship; a guardrail breach pauses the test and triggers investigation — it neither silently vetoes nor gets explained away after the fact.

2. Tracking readiness

Verify the events the test needs actually exist (tech-spec §tracking). A test on unmeasured behavior is a dependency, not a test — create it in status.json with the analyst as owner.

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.

experiment-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository lenar-amirov/product-pipeline-public (12 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 693 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
