designing-experiments
Design experiments and quasi-experiments before analysis. Use when choosing study design, treatment/control structure, outcomes, assumptions, validation plans after scientific experiment failure, or which of DiD, ITS, synthetic control, or regression discontinuity fits the research question. For fitting models or estimating effects on existing data, use performing-causal-analysis instead.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Designing Experiments Helps choose and specify a research design before data analysis starts. This skill owns study-design decisions: what is treated, what is compared, what outcome is measured, which assumptions are required, which validation or recovery experiment should follow a failed scientific experiment, and which design is defensible. It does not fit causal models, estimate treatment eff
What does the designing-experiments skill do?
Design experiments and quasi-experiments before analysis. Use when choosing study design, treatment/control structure, outcomes, assumptions, validation plans after scientific experiment failure, or which of DiD, ITS, synthetic control, or regression discontinuity fits the research question.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills --skill designing-experiments --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills, a repository with 2,593 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
