SOP: design key predictions and observation plans that can distinguish competing hypotheses

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 3 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
We are evaluating a single hypothesis regarding dark energy (H1: cosmological constant from vacuum energy, mechanism: zero-point quantum fluctuations induce negative pressure, unique prediction: equation of state parameter w remains exactly -1 over cosmic time). Output a JSON array with comparison, divergence_point, h1_prediction, ch1_prediction, discriminating_observation, method, feasibility, and feasibility_notes.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The output reports an error indicating at least 2 competing hypotheses are required. | Missed | Passed |
| The output halts processing without generating fake hypothesis comparisons. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Design the key predictions that can discriminate between competing hypotheses, providing direction for subsequent experiment design.
Not satisfied → stop and return an error: at least 2 competing hypotheses are required to design discriminating predictions.
