Install plugin

Installs for the current user

codex plugin marketplace add IchenDEV/agent-plugin-mkt
codex plugin marketplace upgrade agent-plugin-marketplace
codex plugin add research-design@agent-plugin-marketplace

Paste and run these commands in a terminal with Codex. They add and refresh the PluginsMP catalog, then install this plugin.

The installer fetches third-party code from the source repository shown on this page. This directory validates manifest structure and source location, but does not perform a security audit; review the manifest, components, and source before installing.

Get the source manually

$ git clone https://github.com/timsmykov/evidence-lab-plugins

Clone the source repository, then follow its setup instructions to add the plugin to a compatible client. The plugin root is packs/workflows/research-design/.

Included Skills2

experimental-designskills/experimental-design/SKILL.md

Design experiments and studies BEFORE data is collected — choosing a design, randomizing, blocking, and laying out treatment combinations so results are interpretable. Use whenever someone is planning a study, asks how to assign subjects/samples to groups, mentions randomization, blocking, stratification, controls, factorial or fractional-factorial designs, design of experiments (DOE), screening many factors, response-surface optimization, crossover or repeated-measures or split-plot designs, cluster/group randomization, Latin squares, plate layouts, batch/run-order effects, replication vs. pseudoreplication, or sequential/adaptive/group-sequential designs. Trigger even for informal phrasings like "how should I set up this experiment", "how do I avoid confounding", "what's the best way to test these 6 factors", or "assign these mice to conditions". For computing the sample size or power once the design is chosen, use statistical-power; for analyzing data already collected, use statistical-analysis.

hypothesis-generationskills/hypothesis-generation/SKILL.md

Formulate evidence-bounded scientific questions, candidate hypotheses, rival explanations, causal or associational claims, discriminating predictions, measurements, and preregistration-ready analysis plans. Use when turning observations or preliminary findings into transparent, testable research plans without treating hypotheses as facts.
