Takes a vague analytical hunch, stakeholder request, or business question and produces a rigorous, stakeholder-ready analysis plan through a multi-stage pipeline. Use this skill whenever someone says "I think X caused Y", "help me investigate...", "design an analysis for...", "can you look into why...", "we need to figure out what's driving...", or presents any analytical question that needs methodological rigor before execution. This skill is essential when a PM has a hunch but no plan, when…
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
# Skill: Analysis Design
**Trigger:** `/analysis-design`, "design an analysis for...", "I think X caused Y", "help me investigate..."
**Type:** Orchestrator — runs a multi-agent pipeline
---
## Purpose
Takes a vague analytical hunch, stakeholder request, or business question and produces a rigorous, stakeholder-ready analysis plan through a multi-stage pipeline. Chains three specialized agents: Hypothesis Sharpener → Confound Scanner → (optional) Feedback Synthesizer.
This skill orchestrates the full lifecycle: **hunch → testable hypothesis → threat assessment → investigation plan → V1 execution → feedback synthesis → V2 redesign.**
---
## When to Use
- A PM has a hunch but no plan: "I think removing the widget caused repeat purchases to drop"
- A vague request lands: "Can you look into why conversion dropped?"
- An analysis needs redesign after stakeholder feedback: "Here's V1 and the comments — help me build V2"
- Before starting any major investigation (prevents wasted work)

How to install
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/analysis-design@sha256:6bfdd40d5ae5820aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.b370de6, 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.
