ab-test-reader

ab-test-reader is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from uthumany/uthy-legacy-os. It costs 27 tokens per session (924 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for reading A/B test results, where two versions are compared with different users. It explains whether an apparent difference is likely real or random chance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an A/B test ends, when reviewing someone else’s test, or when checking whether a reported result is misleading.
Why use it?
It helps you avoid trusting results from tests that were too small, too short, checked too often, or affected by other changes.

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-reader 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 9d 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 Reader

Overview

A/B tests produce numbers — but not every number is meaningful. This skill helps you read A/B test results critically, understand statistical concepts in plain language, and avoid common interpretation mistakes.

When to Use

  • An A/B test has concluded and you need to interpret the results
  • You're reviewing a test designed by someone else
  • You want to understand why a test result might be misleading
  • Don't use for: designing the test (use experiment-design skill), non-experimental data comparisons

Instructions

1. Check the Basics

Before trusting the results, verify:

  • Random assignment: Was each user truly randomly assigned?
  • Sample size: Was the sample large enough to detect your expected effect?
  • Duration: Did it run at least 1-2 weeks (to capture full weekly cycles)?
  • No peeking: Was the test analyzed only at the END? (peeking inflates false positive rate)
  • No other changes: Were there no simultaneous changes that could confound results?

2. Understand the Numbers

Statistical significance (p-value):

  • p < 0.05 = 95% chance the effect is real (5% chance it's random noise)
  • Not a measure of effect size — a tiny effect can be significant with a large sample
  • Don't compare p-values — a test with p=0.001 is not "more significant" than p=0.04

Effect size:

  • Absolute lift: Treatment - Control (e.g., 12% - 10% = +2%)
  • Relative lift: (Treatment - Control) / Control (e.g., +20% relative)
  • Report both — absolute is more honest

Confidence interval:

  • The range where the true effect likely lives
  • CI = [2%, 8%] means the true effect is likely between +2% and +8%
  • If CI crosses zero ([-1%, 5%]), the result is NOT significant

3. Look for Issues

  • Multiple metrics: Testing 20 metrics and reporting the one that's significant = p-hacking
  • Post-hoc segmentation: Slicing the data 50 ways until something is significant
  • Novelty effect: Early positive effect that fades (common with UI changes)
  • Primacy effect: Early negative effect that recovers (common with major redesigns)
  • Sample ratio mismatch: 50/50 split is actually 48/52 — something's wrong

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.

ab-test-reader is a skill published in the GitHub repository uthumany/uthy-legacy-os (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 924 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 2026-08-31.
