experiment-design
Design empirical studies through power analysis, pre-analysis planning, QSF parsing, and survey architecture. Use when specifying sampling, measurement, treatment, or analysis before data collection. Not for causal identification alone; use $causal-design.

# Experiment Design
> Interview-driven design workflow producing design documents, power analysis scripts, and pre-analysis plans.
## Modes
| Mode | What it produces | Entry point |
|------|-----------------|-------------|
| **Power** | Power analysis script + sample size table | "How many participants do I need?" |
| **Design** | Full design document (hypotheses, conditions, measures, randomization) | "Design my experiment" |
| **PAP** | Pre-analysis plan (AEA/OSF/EGAP format) | "Write a PAP" |
| **Survey** | Structured survey specification from natural language or QSF | "Build a survey" / "Parse my Qualtrics" |
Default: **Design**. If user provides a `.qsf` file, auto-select Survey mode.
