What it does

Algo Mfg Doe is an agent skill from asgard-ai-platform/skills. Design and analyze factorial experiments to identify significant process factors and optimize settings. Use this skill when the user needs to systematically test factor effects, optimize a manufacturing process, or determine which variables matter most — even if they say 'which factors affect quality', 'optimize process settings', or 'design an experiment'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/sample_scenario.md`, `references/fractional-tables.md` and `references/rsm.md`).

The repository describes itself as: 301 open-source coding agent skills across 22 domains — methodology, judgment & gotchas packaged as Claude Agent Skills for the Asgard AI Platform. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs to systematically test factor effects
  • Optimize a manufacturing process
  • Determine which variables matter most — even if they say which factors affect quality
  • Optimize process settings

Example prompts

  • “which factors affect quality”
  • “optimize process settings”
  • “design an experiment”
  • “/algo-mfg-doe”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Algo Mfg Doe loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 426 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Design of Experiments (DOE)

Overview

DOE systematically varies process factors to identify their effects on responses. Full factorial tests all combinations; fractional factorial tests a strategic subset. Identifies main effects and interactions. More efficient than one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) which misses interactions. Uses ANOVA for analysis.

When to Use

Trigger conditions:

  • Identifying which process factors significantly affect quality/yield
  • Optimizing process settings for target performance
  • Screening many factors to find the vital few

When NOT to use:

  • When the process is not stable (stabilize with SPC first)
  • For observational data with no ability to manipulate factors

Algorithm

IRON LAW: One-Factor-At-A-Time (OFAT) MISSES Interactions
Changing one factor while holding others fixed cannot detect
interactions (where the effect of A depends on the level of B).
Full factorial or fractional factorial designs test ALL main effects
AND interactions in fewer runs than OFAT. A 2³ factorial (8 runs)
gives more information than 6 OFAT runs at lower cost.
Phase 1: Input Validation

Define: response variable(s), factors (2-7 practical), levels per factor (usually 2 for screening, 3 for optimization), constraints, noise factors. Gate: Factors and levels defined, practical to run all experimental conditions.

Phase 2: Core Algorithm

Screening (many factors): 2^(k-p) fractional factorial. Choose resolution III+ (main effects not confounded with each other).

Optimization (few factors): 2^k full factorial or central composite design (CCD) for response surface.

  1. Generate design matrix (run order, factor level assignments)
  2. Randomize run order (critical for validity)
  3. Execute experiments, record responses
  4. Analyze: ANOVA for factor significance, effect plots, interaction plots
  5. If optimizing: fit response surface model, find optimal settings
Phase 3: Verification

Check: R² of model is adequate, residuals are normally distributed and random. Confirmation runs at predicted optimal settings match prediction. Gate: Model is significant, residuals OK, confirmation runs pass.

Phase 4: Output

Return significant factors, effects, and optimal settings.

Gotchas

  • Randomization is critical: Without randomization, time-varying factors (operator fatigue, ambient temperature) confound results. ALWAYS randomize run order.
  • Replication vs repetition: Replication (re-setup and re-run) estimates error. Repetition (multiple measurements from one run) does not. Include true replicates.
  • Alias structure: Fractional factorials confound some effects. Know which effects are aliased (confounded) before interpreting results.
  • Center points: Adding center points to a 2-level design detects curvature (non-linearity) at minimal cost. Always include 3-5 center points.
  • Practical significance vs statistical significance: A factor can be statistically significant (p<0.05) but practically unimportant (tiny effect). Focus on effect SIZE, not just p-values.
