Content revision r2 Safe

Design Rigorous A/B Tests

Weak experiment design creates misleading results and wasted traffic. This skill applies hypothesis, metrics, sample size, tracking, execution, and analysis gates before decisions.

Test it

Using "ab-test-setup". We want to test a shorter checkout for mobile visitors.

Expected outcome:

  • Proposed hypothesis: A shorter checkout will increase completed purchases among mobile visitors.
  • Primary metric: completed purchases per assigned mobile visitor.
  • Required inputs: baseline conversion, target MDE, traffic volume, guardrails, and final variant definition.

Using "ab-test-setup". Baseline conversion is 8%, MDE is 10% relative, power is 80%, and significance is 95%.

Expected outcome:

  • The planning inputs are defined, but daily eligible traffic and assignment unit are still required.
  • Confirm whether the MDE means an increase from 8% to 8.8%.
  • Calculate duration only after traffic stability and user independence are assessed.

Using "ab-test-setup". Review our launch plan. Events fire, but variant IDs appear only on entry events.

Expected outcome:

  • Launch status: blocked.
  • Variant attribution must appear on every event used by primary and secondary metrics.
  • Repair attribution, test at least five events per variant, and repeat the readiness review.

All five static findings are false positives caused by ordinary experiment-design language in SKILL.md. The skill contains procedural A/B testing guidance and no reconnaissance, prompt injection, command execution, or data-exfiltration intent.

What You Can Build

Validate a Product Experiment

Turn a product idea into a locked hypothesis, measurable outcome, guardrails, and launch checklist.

Plan Reliable Measurement

Define metrics, estimate sample needs, and verify event collection before exposing users to variants.

Review Experiment Readiness

Identify missing assumptions, tracking risks, and stopping rules before implementation or launch approval.

Try These Prompts

Draft a Hypothesis
Help me turn this idea into a valid A/B test hypothesis: [idea]. Ask for the audience, metric, direction, baseline, and MDE.
Review Hypothesis Quality
Review this hypothesis and stop if required details are missing: [hypothesis]. Identify assumptions, one primary metric, secondary metrics, and guardrails.
Plan Sample and Duration
Plan an experiment using baseline [rate], MDE [effect], significance [level], power [target], and daily traffic [volume]. State assumptions and estimate sample size and duration.
Run a Readiness Review
Audit this complete experiment plan: [plan]. Check design choice, metrics, sample assumptions, tracking, randomization, guardrails, stopping rules, analysis, and documentation. Block unresolved requirements.

Best Practices

  • Lock the hypothesis, audience, primary metric, expected direction, and MDE before designing variants.
  • Verify tracking and randomization with raw records before launch, then monitor technical health without peeking at outcomes.
  • Document assumptions, external factors, achieved sample, results, guardrails, decisions, and follow-up learning.

Avoid

  • Do not change variants, traffic sources, success criteria, or the primary metric after launch.
  • Do not stop early because interim results appear favorable or unfavorable.
  • Do not ship a primary-metric win when a predefined guardrail fails.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information should I provide first?
Provide the user problem, proposed change, target audience, primary metric, baseline, MDE, traffic estimate, and known external factors.
Can this skill choose the test type?
Yes. It compares A/B, A/B/n, multivariate, and split URL designs, while preferring the simplest valid option.
Does this skill calculate sample size?
It can guide an estimate when baseline, MDE, significance, power, assignment unit, and traffic are available.
Can I launch with incomplete tracking?
No. Event delivery, variant attribution, duplicate prevention, randomization balance, and guardrail monitoring must be verified first.
How does it prevent biased decisions?
It freezes success criteria, discourages interim peeking, preserves guardrails, and separates statistical significance from business judgment.
What happens when required inputs are missing?
The workflow stops, explains the missing requirement, and recommends the evidence or redesign needed to continue.
