hypothesis-generation

Structured hypothesis formulation from observations. Use when you have experimental observations or data and need to formulate testable hypotheses with predictions, propose mechanisms, and design experiments to test them. Follows scientific method framework. For open-ended ideation use scientific-brainstorming; for automated LLM-driven hypothesis testing on datasets use hypogenic.

Related Skills

hypogenic
Automated LLM-driven hypothesis generation and testing on tabular datasets. Use when you want to systematically explore hypotheses about patterns in empirical data (e.g., deception detection, content analysis). Combines literature insights with data-driven hypothesis testing. For manual hypothesis formulation use hypothesis-generation; for creative ideation use scientific-brainstorming.

scientific-brainstorming
Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.

hypothesis-tester
Structured hypothesis formulation, experiment design, and results interpretation for Product Managers. Use when the user needs to validate an assumption, design an A/B test, evaluate experiment results, or decide whether to ship based on data. Triggers include "hypothesis", "A/B test", "experiment", "validate assumption", "test this", "should we ship", or when making a decision that should be data-informed.
