exp-design
Idea-driven experiment design with iterative ablation — method candidate generation (direct / hybrid / cross-idea combination) → benchmark selection → iterative ablation (non-linear: ablation can trigger method simplification and re-planning) → sensitivity analysis → main experiment → optional generalization → deep analysis of intermediate quantities. Use when designing a full experiment suite for an idea after pilot evaluation.

# /exp-design
> Design a complete, non-linear experiment suite for an idea.
> This skill supports method candidate generation, iterative ablation with method simplification, sensitivity analysis, and deep analysis of intermediate quantities.
> The ablation loop is the core non-linear feature: ablation results classify factors as essential/contributing/marginal/harmful, and marginal/harmful factors trigger method simplification and re-planning (capped at 2 iterations).
## Inputs
- `idea-slug`: the idea to design experiments for (reads from `wiki/ideas/{slug}.md`)
## Outputs
- Experiment wiki pages: `wiki/experiments/{exp-slug}.md` — one per experiment block (ablation, sensitivity, main, generalization, analysis), each with `status: planned` and `linked_idea` set
- Master design document: `experiments/designs/{slug}-master.md` — detailed specs for all experiment blocks
