What it does

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," "hypothesis," "should I test this," "which version is better," "test two versions," "statistical significance," or "how long should I run this test." Use this whenever someone is comparing two approaches and wants to measure which performs better. For tracking implementation, see analytics-tracking. For page-level conversion optimization, see page-cro.

A/B Test Setup

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

Initial Assessment

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing-context.md exists (or .agents/product-marketing-context.md in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Before designing a test, understand:

  1. Test Context - What are you trying to improve? What change are you considering?
  2. Current State - Baseline conversion rate? Current traffic volume?
  3. Constraints - Technical complexity? Timeline? Tools available?

Core Principles

1. Start with a Hypothesis

  • Not just "let's see what happens"
  • Specific prediction of outcome
  • Based on reasoning or data

2. Test One Thing

  • Single variable per test
  • Otherwise you don't know what worked

3. Statistical Rigor

  • Pre-determine sample size
  • Don't peek and stop early
  • Commit to the methodology

4. Measure What Matters

  • Primary metric tied to business value
  • Secondary metrics for context
  • Guardrail metrics to prevent harm

Hypothesis Framework

Structure

Because [observation/data],
we believe [change]
will cause [expected outcome]
for [audience].
We'll know this is true when [metrics].

Example

Weak: "Changing the button color might increase clicks."

Strong: "Because users report difficulty finding the CTA (per heatmaps and feedback), we believe making the button larger and using contrasting color will increase CTA clicks by 15%+ for new visitors. We'll measure click-through rate from page view to signup start."
