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," "how long should I run this test," "growth experiments," "experiment velocity," "experiment backlog," "ICE score," "experimentation program," or "experiment playbook." Use this whenever someone is comparing two approaches and wants to measure which performs better, or when they want to build a systematic experimentation practice. For tracking implementation, see analytics. For page-level conversion optimization, see cro.

Run a structured after-action review (postmortem, retrospective) on a launch, incident, or completed project to capture timeline, root cause analysis, contributing factors, and actionable lessons.

Triggers on after-action report, AAR, postmortem, retrospective, retro, post-incident review, what went well what didn't, lessons learned, blameless postmortem, root cause analysis, RCA, five whys. Also triggers when the user has just shipped something or just resolved an incident and wants to capture learnings.

Design measurement frameworks including event taxonomy, KPI hierarchy, dashboard architecture, attribution models, and analytics implementation strategy. Use this skill whenever the user wants to plan analytics, design dashboards, build event taxonomies, define KPIs, set up tracking, or audit existing measurement. Triggers on analytics strategy, measurement plan, event taxonomy, tracking plan, KPI framework, dashboard design, north star metric, attribution model, conversion tracking, GA4 setup, Mixpanel setup, analytics audit. Also triggers when the user has data but no clear way to use it, or wants to make decisions but doesn't know what to track.

Running closed and open betas that produce real signal. Beta participant selection, structured feedback collection, beta-to-GA decision criteria, and the difference between soft-launch (no structure, no signal), kitchen-sink (everyone in, no actionable feedback), and structured beta (calibrated cohort, intentional feedback loops, clear graduation criteria). Triggers on beta program, alpha test, beta cohort, beta participant, beta feedback, beta to GA decision, design partner, early access program, closed beta, open beta, RC release. Also triggers when a feature is approaching launch and the team needs structured pre-GA validation, when prior betas produced noise rather than signal, or when the team has soft-launched before but wants more structured feedback this time.

When the user wants to submit their product to startup, SaaS, AI, agent, MCP, no-code, or review directories for backlinks, domain rating, and discovery. Also use when the user mentions "directory submissions," "submit to directories," "backlinks from directories," "list my product," "submit to Product Hunt," "BetaList," "TAAFT," "Futurepedia," "G2 listing," "Capterra listing," "AlternativeTo," "SaaSHub," "AI directories," "MCP registry," "agent directory," "dofollow backlinks," "launch directories," or "directory tracker." Use this whenever someone is planning the directory layer of a product launch or an ongoing backlink campaign. For the broader launch moment, see launch. For programmatic SEO pages that should live behind these backlinks, see programmatic-seo. For AI citation optimization, see ai-seo.

Send messages, embeds, and marketing content to Discord channels via webhooks or bot API. Manage community engagement, announcements, and automated posting. Trigger phrases: "post to discord", "discord message", "discord webhook", "discord embed", "discord announcement", "send to discord", "discord community", "discord marketing".

A discipline for designing experiments (A/B tests, multivariate, holdouts) so the results actually answer the question you asked. Hypothesis writing, sample size, duration, segment analysis, running discipline, matching a result to a pre-committed decision rule, and the common failure modes that produce confidently wrong shipping decisions. Use this skill whenever the user is planning a test that has not run yet: framing a hypothesis, sizing the sample, setting duration, choosing guardrails, or deciding whether something is worth testing at all. Triggers on design an experiment, experiment plan, A/B test, split test, multivariate test, holdout, experiment hypothesis, sample size, minimum detectable effect, MDE, test duration, guardrail metric, no peeking, pre-committed decision rule, is this worth testing. Use `experimentation-analytics` instead when the test has already run and the question is how to read the result panel.

How to read experiment results without fooling yourself. Confidence intervals, p-values, multiple testing, sequential testing, CUPED, heterogeneous treatment effects, ratio metrics, network effects, dashboard reconciliation, and the interpretation failures that produce confidently wrong shipping decisions. Use this skill whenever the user is reading a finished experiment result panel and about to make a ship, kill, or iterate decision, or when an experiment number does not match the dashboard number. Triggers on read experiment results, result panel, ship or kill decision, p-value, confidence interval, statistical significance, multiple testing, peeking, sequential testing, CUPED, variance reduction, heterogeneous treatment effects, ratio metric, network effects, inconclusive test, experiment versus dashboard mismatch. Use `experiment-design` instead when the test has not run yet and the question is hypothesis, sample size, duration, or what to test.

The operational playbook for launching a feature well. Positioning, internal alignment, customer comms, sales enablement, support readiness, rollout strategy, monitoring with pre-defined rollback triggers, post-launch measurement against spec hypotheses, and the discipline that distinguishes shipping from releasing from actually launching. Triggers on launch plan, feature launch, launch checklist, ship vs release, rollout strategy, gradual rollout, sales enablement, support readiness, launch announcement, post-launch measurement, launch failure, declared victory too early. Also triggers when planning a launch (any size, any segment), auditing an existing launch process, fixing the we shipped it but the metric did not move problem, or building a launch checklist for the team.

Use when the user says "add contact to HubSpot", "create deal", "search CRM", "HubSpot contacts", "update deal stage", "CRM report", "HubSpot pages", or asks about managing their sales pipeline, CRM data, or HubSpot content. ROUTING — this skill performs HubSpot API operations. To decide lifecycle stages, lead scoring, campaign naming, required fields, or data-hygiene rules, use `revops` instead; those are process decisions, not API calls.

Generate a phased delivery orchestration plan for creative-direction-driven work: which skills run when, what locks at which gate, how handoffs occur, and how the cadence implements in the team's tools (Jira, Linear, Notion, Figma, GitHub) with AI agents via MCP and CLI. A temporal map of phases, lock points, handoff specs, gate definitions, and QA verification gates. Distinct from `creative-brief` (static project brief) and `creative-direction` (aesthetic direction). Triggers on integration orchestrator, delivery cadence, project orchestration, when does the brief lock, how to phase creative direction, design-development handoff, QA gate, agent-driven QA, and when a creative-direction project is starting, mid-flight with broken cadence, or integrating AI agents into PM workflow. Does NOT fire for project scoping (use `creative-brief`), aesthetic direction (use `creative-direction`), or general project management without a creative-direction throughline.

Plan and execute a launch runbook covering pre-launch verification, go-live procedures, DNS cutover, post-launch monitoring, and rollback procedures. Use this skill whenever the user is preparing to launch a website or product, planning a DNS cutover, building a go-live checklist, or executing a launch day. Triggers on launch runbook, go-live, launch day, DNS cutover, deploy to production, site launch, product launch, cutover plan, launch checklist, deployment procedure. Also triggers when a launch is approaching and the team needs structured coordination, even if 'runbook' is not explicitly stated.
