agentsop-reranker-stage

agentsop-reranker-stage is a RAG & retrieval skill for AI agents, published by agentsope in the SkillAlchemy repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates agentsop-reranker-stage D (68/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Enhancement-overlay SOP for the reranker stage of a RAG pipeline — the "retrieve wide, rerank narrow" discipline. Activate when a calling agent owns a retrieval pipeline whose answers have plateaued: top-k contains the right document but it is buried below noise, or the context window is under pressure from too many marginal chunks. Encodes the one non- negotiable insight — a cheap bi-encoder retrieves *wide* for recall, then a more expensive cross-encoder (which reads query + document *together*) reranks *narrow* for precision; keep top-N=20-50, rerank to top-k=3-5. Covers when to add a reranker (and when not to), N-vs-k tuning, model choice (Cohere/Voyage API vs bge-reranker local vs SentenceTransformer cross-encoder), latency/cost budgeting, and the cross-framework mapping (LlamaIndex node postprocessors, LangChain ContextualCompressionRetriever, Cohere/Voyage rerank APIs, local cross-encoders). This is an ENHANCE overlay over the per- framework skills — cross-link `[[llamaindex]]`…
