orchestrate-evidence-retrieval-expert

orchestrate-evidence-retrieval-expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NITISH-R-G/hackerrank-orchestrate-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (809 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for improving how a search system finds supporting evidence for answers. It covers measuring the available candidate pool and comparing ranking methods such as keyword matching and embeddings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or changing evidence retrieval, measuring recall and precision, comparing rankers, or deciding whether a proposed optimisation can improve results.
Why use it?
A ranking change cannot recover items that were never considered, and a broader pool may reduce accuracy. The guide helps measure these limits before choosing an approach.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

orchestrate-evidence-retrieval-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 11d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orchestrate: Evidence Retrieval Expert

Evidence tier: first-hand build (August 2026). Grounded in a completed Orchestrate submission that was audited to destruction — 48 logged defects, 9 measured-and-rejected optimisations, 17 certification scripts. Every number below was measured on that system. Nothing here claims access to HackerRank's internal scoring.

The rule

Compute the ceiling before you optimise. Then benchmark the fashionable option and publish the number when it loses.

Step 1 — the pool bounds everything

No ranker can retrieve an id that is not in the pool it ranks. Measure this first:

rule-scoped pool  26/31 = 83.9%   <- what ships
all-user pool     31/31 = 100%    <- higher ceiling

Tempting. But measured end to end, the wider pool scored F1 0.483 vs 0.512 — the extra candidates cost more precision than the recovered recall was worth.

A higher ceiling is not a higher score.

Step 2 — benchmark the fashionable option

153 configurations (3 pools × 17 rankers × 3 values of k), scored only on labeled rows:

ranker F1
BM25 0.512
tf-idf / jaccard / hybrid 0.496
dense embeddings, RRF, cross-encoder 0.479
recency only 0.336

Every neural method lost to plain lexical matching. The relation being scored was topical word overlap, not paraphrase — bi-encoders are built for the wrong thing here.

Also measured: temporal, metadata and behaviour re-ranking produced byte-identical metrics. The pools were already scoped by conversation and relationship, so applying those signals again was a no-op.

Step 3 — prefer a diagnosed mechanism over an aggregate wiggle

One ranker change was adopted, because it had a mechanism:

The correct evidence ranked 6th of 21. Cause: the similarity function divided by min(|a|,|b|), so a short boilerplate message sharing generic terms outranked a longer one sharing distinctive terms. Five near-duplicate 10-token messages scored 0.600; the truth, with 6 distinctive terms across 18 tokens, scored 0.389.

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.

orchestrate-evidence-retrieval-expert is a skill published in the GitHub repository NITISH-R-G/hackerrank-orchestrate-skills (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 809 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
