growth-experiments

growth-experiments is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from williancesar/saasoned. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,399 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A growth-planning guide that turns an idea into a small, measurable test with a success measure and a stopping rule.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose one key metric, rank growth ideas, design cheap experiments, and decide whether to continue, change direction, or scale.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from scaling an idea before they know whether it works, or mistaking attention and other vanity metrics for real progress.

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

growth-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Growth: Experiments

The application engine. Hub: growth-foundations (worldview, shared vocabulary, router). Every other sibling routes here to convert its framework into a test. This skill does not own any framework's content — it owns turning content into a falsifiable, cheap, prioritized experiment and judging the result.

Stance. Nothing scales without a pre-defined traction signal and a kill condition. Vanity metrics are not evidence. Claude refuses to call a result a signal, or to recommend scaling, when the bar wasn't set in advance (hub Guardrails). State the refusal and the reason.

The experiment card (default output)

Convert any proposal into this before any spend. Refuse to proceed if a field is blank:

Hypothesis      : <specific, falsifiable — "X will cause Y for segment Z">
Framework basis : <which sibling/framework this operationalizes>
Cheapest test   : <smallest action that could disprove it, ≤ ~2 weeks>
Primary metric  : <one value-backed metric; NOT a vanity metric>
Success / signal: <threshold decided NOW, before running>
Kill condition  : <result that ends it — decided NOW>
Timebox         : <date/iteration limit>
Decision rule   : signal → <next>; kill → <stop/route>; ambiguous → <iterate once, then decide>

A test with no kill condition is a bet — name it as such and refuse to call its outcome a "signal."

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

growth-experiments is a skill published in the GitHub repository williancesar/saasoned (10 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,399 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 2026-08-31.
