experimentation SKILL.md skillA

experimentation from cbrock84/headcount is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/experimentation@git:20260916.e72e404

Pins git:20260916.e72e404 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Designs, runs, and reads A/B tests and growth experiments — hypothesis, sample size, duration, and honest interpretation. Use this to plan a test, judge whether a result is real, build an experimentation program, decide what to test next, or diagnose why tests keep producing inconclusive or non-replicating results.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Experimentation

Most A/B testing programs produce confident conclusions from insufficient data. The discipline is
almost entirely in what you do before launch.

## Before running

- **Hypothesis with a mechanism.** "Moving the pricing table above the fold will raise trial starts,
  because visitors currently leave before seeing pricing." Not "let's try a green button."
- **One primary metric**, chosen in advance. Secondary metrics are context, never the verdict.
- **Sample size calculated in advance**, from your baseline rate and the smallest lift that would
  change a decision. If the required sample is unreachable, do not run the test — decide by judgment
  and say so.
- **Duration set in advance**, covering at least one full weekly cycle, and two if the buying cycle
  is long.
- **Guardrail metrics** that would make you reject a win: refunds, support volume, downstream
  retention.

## While running

Do not look at results and act on them mid-flight. Peeking and stopping at significance is the
single most common way to generate false positives, and it is very effective at it.

Check only that the test is running correctly — even split, no broken variant, tracking firing.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/experimentation@sha256:1112191cd4bb33f2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
