hypothesis-building skillA
hypothesis-building is agent-read markdown (skill) from scdenney/open-science-skills: Turns a theory into falsifiable, pre-registerable hypotheses — DAGs and backdoor closure, how the design resolves the FPCI, SATE versus PATE, counterfactual and directional framing, a named theoretical and empirical estimand, a justified SESOI, the choice among NHST, interval, equivalence (TOST), and minimum-effect tests, scope conditions, and primary, secondary, and exploratory tiers across multi-experiment designs. Use when the user has a research question or theory and asks to turn it into hy.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
How to install
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/hypothesis-building@git:20260905.c12f077mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/hypothesis-building@sha256:ff44322aa9789eafPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
