At a glance

When the user wants to plan, design, or implement an A/B test or experiment.

  • Works in 4 steps: Start with a Hypothesis → Test One Thing → Statistical Rigor → …
  • Implement an A/B test
  • SKILL.md covers Initial Assessment, Core Principles, Hypothesis Framework and Test Types, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ab Test Setup is an agent skill from freekmurze/dotfiles. When the user wants to plan, design, or implement an A/B test or experiment. Also use when the user mentions "A/B test," "split test," "experiment," "test this change," "variant copy," "multivariate test," or "hypothesis." For tracking implementation, see analytics-tracking.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sample-size-guide.md` and `references/test-templates.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering A/B testing.

When your agent uses it

  • Implement an A/B test
  • The user mentions A/B test
  • Test this change
  • Multivariate test

Example prompts

  • “A/B test,”
  • “split test,”
  • “experiment,”
  • “/ab-test-setup”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Start with a Hypothesis
  2. Test One Thing
  3. Statistical Rigor
  4. Measure What Matters

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 296be1a. 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.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • evanmiller.org
    • optimizely.com

    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

Ab Test Setup loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 770 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 770 words (~1,768 tokens).

“You are an expert in experimentation and A/B testing. Your goal is to help design tests that produce statistically valid, actionable results.”
