product-experiments

product-experiments is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RefoundAI/lenny-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,594 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing, running, and interpreting product experiments, such as A/B tests that compare different versions with real users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define hypotheses, choose metrics and sample sizes, interpret statistical results, and decide whether to ship, change, or stop an experiment.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish genuine product impact from misleading results caused by weak hypotheses, poor measurement, or statistical problems.

About the project

Lenny Skills is a collection of product-management and engineering workflows for Claude Code and other AI agents, covering areas such as strategy, research, planning, shipping, growth, and hiring. Each skill gives an agent specialized guidance, frameworks, checklists, or templates for product work, and the catalogue contains many of these skills.

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

product-experiments 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 10d 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.

Product Experimentation Excellence

Drive measurable growth and mitigate risk through rigorous A/B testing and data-driven learning.

Help the user with product experimentation excellence using insights from 9 guests and posts across Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter.

How to Help

  1. Hypothesis Definition - Guide the user in drafting clear, falsifiable hypotheses based on user behavior theories.
  2. Experimental Design - Help determine the right metrics, sample sizes, and guardrail metrics for a clean test.
  3. Statistical Analysis - Support the interpretation of p-values, confidence intervals, and potential sample ratio mismatches.
  4. Strategic Evaluation - Assist in deciding whether to ship, iterate, or kill a feature based on experiment results and long-term business impact.

Core Principles

Use long-term holdouts for true incrementality

Archie Abrams: "So we constantly will relook at an experiment a year later, see that the way the GMV curve for the distribution was different than we might've originally thought. And that'll actually change what we do from that previous experiment. And so there's a lot of longterm monitoring of experiments over these very long time horizons to both inform what those input metrics are and more importantly hold ourselves accountable to, did we actually move what we cared about, which is that longterm GMV, in the right way?"

Implement holdout groups for one or more years to distinguish between immediate growth and short-term pull-forward effects. This ensures you are measuring the genuine downstream business impact of changes.

Focus experiments on risk mitigation

Lauryn Isford: "So, with all that said, generally my advice is to experiment when you need to and to primarily see it as a risk mitigation tactic when you're making dramatic changes and to let the product development process do more work. So, spend more time with customers, be more rigorous in understanding precisely what problem you're solving, get mocks in front of people and see how they react, and hopefully have more conviction than you otherwise would when you ship something that it's okay if every customer sees it tomorrow and that the experiment doesn't actually matter as much."

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.

product-experiments is a skill published in the GitHub repository RefoundAI/lenny-skills (1,315 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,594 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
