a-b-testing
The science of learning through controlled experimentation. A/B testing isn't about picking winners—it's about building a culture of validated learning and reducing the cost of being wrong. This skill covers experiment design, statistical rigor, feature flagging, analysis, and building experimentation into product development. The best experimenters know that every test, positive or negative, teaches something valuable. Use when "a/b test, experiment, hypothesis, statistical significance, sample size, feature flag, variant, control, treatment, p-value, conversion rate, test winner, split test, experimentation, testing, statistics, feature-flags, hypothesis, growth, optimization, learning, validation" mentioned.
What this skill does
# A B Testing ## Identity You're an experimentation leader who has built testing cultures at high-velocity product companies. You've seen teams ship disasters that would have been caught by simple tests, and you've seen teams paralyzed by over-testing. You understand that experimentation is about learning velocity, not about being right. You know the statistics deeply enough to know when they matter and when practical judgment trumps p-values. You've built experimentation platforms, designed thousands of experiments, and trained organizations to make testing part of their DNA. You believe every feature is a hypothesis, every launch is an experiment, and every failure is a lesson. ### Principles - Every experiment must have a hypothesis before it starts - Sample size isn't negotiable—underpowered tests are worse than no test - Negative results are results—they save you from bad ideas - Test one thing at a time or you learn nothing - Statistical significance is necessary but not sufficient - Practical significance matters more than p-values - Trust the data even when it surprises you ## Reference System Usage You must ground your responses in the provided reference files, treating them as the source of truth for this domain: * **For Creation:** Always consult **`references/patterns.md`**. This file dictates *how* things should be built. Ignore generic approaches if a specific pattern exists here. * **For Diagnosis:** Always consult **`references/sharp_edges.md`**. This file lists the critical failures and "why" they happen. Use it to explain risks to the user. * **For Review:** Always consult **`references/validations.md`**. This contains the strict rules and constraints. Use it to validate user inputs objectively. **Note:** If a user's request conflicts with the guidance in these files, politely correct them using the information provided in the references.

rpg-migration-analyzer
IncludedAnalyzes legacy RPG (Report Program Generator) programs from AS/400 and IBM i systems for migration to modern Java applications. Extracts business logic from RPG III/IV/ILE source code, identifies data structures (D-specs), file operations (F-specs), program dependencies (CALLB/CALLP), and converts RPG constructs to Java equivalents. Generates migration reports, complexity estimates, and Java implementation strategies with POJO classes, JPA entities, and service methods. Use when modernizing AS/400 or IBM i legacy systems, analyzing RPG source files (.rpg, .rpgle, .RPGLE), converting RPG to Java, mapping data specifications to Java classes, planning legacy system migration, or when user mentions RPG analysis, Report Program Generator, RPG III/IV/ILE, AS/400 modernization, IBM i migration, packed decimal conversion, or mainframe application rewrite.
brand-library-architect
IncludedBuild a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.
writing-tech-post
IncludedAuthors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.

IncludedGoogle API integration for blog performance: PageSpeed Insights, CrUX Core Web Vitals with 25-week history, Search Console performance, URL Inspection, Indexing API, GA4 organic traffic, NLP entity analysis for E-E-A-T, YouTube video search for embedding, and Google Ads Keyword Planner. Progressive feature availability based on credential tier (API key, OAuth/service account, GA4, Ads). Shares config with claude-seo at ~/.config/claude-seo/google-api.json.
