Experiment Design Assistant for Data Scientists
Design statistically rigorous experiments with preregistration and power analysis
What You Can Do
Design experiments with statistical rigor from the ground up. You'll generate power analyses, create randomization strategies, write preregistration documents, and get AI-assisted reviews of your experimental design to catch biases before data collection. Whether you're planning a clinical trial, A/B test, or academic study, you'll have a complete, defensible experimental protocol.

Determine sample size needed for 80% statistical power with customizable effect sizes and significance levels
Create stratified, blocked, or clustered randomization schemes tailored to your study design
Auto-generate Open Science Framework (OSF)-compatible preregistration documents with all required sections
Get quick reference tables for common experimental designs (t-tests, ANOVA, correlation)
Get recommendations on which statistical tests match your hypotheses and experimental structure
Identify selection bias, confounding, measurement bias, and other threats to validity
Structure your research questions using the SMART hypothesis framework
Get detailed feedback on your study design with specific, actionable improvements
Example Output

Effect Size (Cohen's d): 0.3 (small-to-medium)
Target Power: 80%
Significance Level (α): 0.05
Sample Size Per Arm: 176
Total Sample Size: 352
Duration: ~4 weeks (assuming 45 conversions/day)
Randomization Schema
Method: Stratified Random Assignment

This skill helps you systematically diagnose failures in distributed ML training and serving infrastructure. You provide system logs, metrics, and error traces, and Claude performs structured root-cause analysis to identify the underlying issue—whether it's resource exhaustion, distributed system deadlock, data pipeline corruption, or model serving misconfiguration. You get a detailed diagnosis with remediation steps ranked by likelihood and implementation effort.
