ab-test-designer is a product management skill that designs statistically sound A/B experiments with hypotheses, metrics, sample sizes, and guardrails for developers planning feature validation.

About

ab-test-designer is a product management skill from pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management for engineers and PMs planning feature experiments before variant code ships. The skill designs robust A/B tests with clear hypotheses, success metrics, sample-size estimates, guardrail metrics, and rollout plans using an industry PM framework. Developers reach for ab-test-designer when testing a new feature, validating a conversion hypothesis, or optimizing funnels and need experiment specs engineers can implement confidently. Input includes product context, optional research data, and the change under test via an argument hint for the feature or variation. The output is a structured experiment plan that reduces underpowered tests and missing guardrails. Skip it when experiments already have signed-off statistical design, for qualitative-only discovery, or when no measurable metric exists for the change.

  • Hypothesis and metric framing
  • Sample size and duration estimates
  • Guardrail metric selection
  • Variant allocation plans
  • Pre-registration checklists

How do you design a statistically sound A/B test?

Design statistically sound A/B experiments with clear hypotheses, success metrics, sample-size estimates, guardrails, and rollout plans before committing engineering to variant builds.

Who is it for?

Engineers and PMs scoping feature experiments who need statistically grounded A/B plans before variant implementation starts.

Skip if: Teams with approved experiment designs, qualitative-only research, or changes lacking measurable success metrics.

When should I use this skill?

A developer or PM asks to design an A/B test, validate a hypothesis, or plan conversion experiments with metrics and sample sizes.

What you get

An experiment spec with hypothesis, success metrics, sample-size estimate, guardrails, and rollout plan.

Domain Context

This skill implements a proven product management framework. The approach combines best practices from industry leaders and is designed for practical application in day-to-day PM work.

Input Requirements

  • Context about your product, feature, or problem
  • Relevant data, research, or constraints (recommended but optional)
  • Clear articulation of what you're trying to achieve

A/B Test Designer

When to Use

  • Testing a new feature or design variation
  • Validating a hypothesis before full rollout
  • Optimizing conversion rates or key metrics
  • Choosing between multiple design approaches
  • Need to make a data-driven decision on a change

What This Skill Does

Helps you design rigorous A/B tests with clear hypotheses, success metrics, sample size calculations, and analysis plans.

Instructions

Help me design an A/B test for [feature/change]. Include:

1. Hypothesis

  • Current situation and metrics
  • Proposed change
  • Expected impact and why

2. Test Design

  • Primary success metric
  • Secondary metrics
  • Sample size needed
  • Test duration
  • User segments to include/exclude

3. Variants

  • Control (A): current experience
  • Variant (B): new experience
  • Any additional variants (C, D, etc.)

4. Risks and Controls

  • Potential negative impacts
  • Guardrail metrics
  • When to stop the test early

5. Analysis Plan

  • Statistical significance threshold
  • How to handle edge cases
  • Decision criteria

Feature context: [Add context about the change you want to test]

Best Practices

  • Start with a clear, falsifiable hypothesis
  • Choose one primary metric to avoid multiple comparison issues
  • Calculate sample size upfront based on expected effect size
  • Run tests for full weekly cycles to account for day-of-week effects
  • Set a minimum test duration (usually 1-2 weeks)
  • Define success criteria before running the test
  • Monitor guardrail metrics (revenue, errors, performance)

Example

Input: Testing new onboarding flow vs current 3-step process Output: Hypothesis (new 1-step flow will increase co...
