experimental-design SKILL.md skillA
experimental-design from oleafly/oleafly is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add oleafly/oleafly/experimental-design@v1.2Pins v1.2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design experiments and studies BEFORE data is collected — choosing a design, randomizing, blocking, and laying out treatment combinations so results are interpretable. Use whenever someone is planning a study, asks how to assign subjects/samples to groups, mentions randomization, blocking, stratification, controls, factorial or fractional-factorial designs, design of experiments (DOE), screening many factors, response-surface optimization, crossover or repeated-measures or split-plot designs…
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
# Experimental Design ## Overview The design of a study — how units are assigned to conditions, what is held constant, what is varied, and in what structure — determines what questions the data can answer. No analysis can rescue a confounded or pseudoreplicated design after the fact. This skill is about the decisions made *before* data collection: picking a design that isolates the effect of interest, randomizing to license causal claims, blocking to remove known nuisance variation, and structuring multi-factor experiments so effects are estimable rather than tangled together. The three ideas behind almost every good design (Fisher's principles): - **Randomization** — assign treatments at random so that confounders, known and unknown, are balanced in expectation. This is what turns a comparison into a causal claim. - **Replication** — independent repetition at the right level, so you can estimate variability and your effects aren't artifacts of a single unit. The most common fatal error is **pseudoreplication**: counting repeated measurements on the same unit as independent replicates. …

How to install
mdr add oleafly/oleafly/experimental-design@sha256:d29ef070514416d9The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2, 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.
