What is trueskill-rank?

A ranking tool that compares a collection of text items using TrueSkill, a rating method originally designed to rank players, with an AI judge applying a chosen rubric.

Rank, score, curate, or sort text such as drafts, ideas, search results, or other written collections using a changeable set of criteria.

It provides a repeatable way to sort many written items by quality instead of judging the whole list in one pass. Overlapping comparisons help build the ranking from smaller groups.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add buildoak/fieldwork-skills --skill trueskill-rank

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/buildoak/fieldwork-skills

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00061	$0.02197
Opus 5	$0.00030	$0.01099
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00439
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00220

Measured 12d ago against content hash f46a9e6d005c, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-12, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

trueskill-rank scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/trueskill-rank.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Fallback: If `agent-mux` not found, falls back to direct OpenAI API via `urllib.request` (stdlib, zero deps). Requires `OPENAI_API_KEY` env var. Uses `gpt-4o-mini`. Results written as `{"success": true, "response": "..."

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TrueSkill Rank

Rank any collection of text items by quality using TrueSkill + LLM-as-judge.

Setup

pip install trueskill

Python 3.11+ required
agent-mux for parallel dispatch (optional -- falls back to direct OpenAI API if OPENAI_API_KEY is set)
Claude Code: copy this skill folder into .claude/skills/trueskill-rank/
Codex CLI: append this SKILL.md content to your project's root AGENTS.md

For the full installation walkthrough (prerequisites, verification, API fallback), see references/installation-guide.md.

Staying Updated

This skill ships with an UPDATES.md changelog and UPDATE-GUIDE.md for your AI agent.

After installing, tell your agent: "Check UPDATES.md in the trueskill-rank skill for any new features or changes."

When updating, tell your agent: "Read UPDATE-GUIDE.md and apply the latest changes from UPDATES.md."

Follow UPDATE-GUIDE.md so customized local files are diffed before any overwrite.

Quick Start

PYTHON="python3"
CLI="~/.claude/skills/trueskill-rank/scripts/trueskill-rank.py"

# Full pipeline: prepare + dispatch + aggregate
$PYTHON $CLI run \
  --input items.json \
  --overlap 3 \
  --rubric ~/.claude/skills/trueskill-rank/rubrics/practitioner-signal.md \
  --output results.json

# Or step by step:
$PYTHON $CLI prepare --input items.json --overlap 3 \
  --rubric ~/.claude/skills/trueskill-rank/rubrics/practitioner-signal.md \
  --output-dir /tmp/ts-run/
# Dispatch is handled internally by trueskill-rank.py (no separate script needed)
$PYTHON $CLI aggregate --run-dir /tmp/ts-run/ --output results.json

Cost: each subset of 10 items produces C(10,2)=45 implicit pairwise comparisons. 100 items at overlap 3 = 30 subsets = 30 API calls = 1,350 implicit comparisons.

Decision Tree

Mode Selection

Question	Answer	Mode
Ranking individual items (messages, posts)?	Yes	`--mode batch` (default)
Comparing entities (channels, sources, candidates)?	Yes	`--mode pairwise`
Items > 50?	Yes	`--mode batch` (far more efficient)
Items < 20, need binary signal?	Yes	`--mode pairwise`

Files

What ships with it

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
