hypothesis-ranked-tournament

Goal:

• Judge one ranked-tournament matchup between two top frontier hypotheses.

Inputs:

• research_plan/RESEARCH_PLAN.json
• two hypotheses/<id>/HYPOTHESIS.json artifacts with completed review bundles

Outputs:

• one TournamentMatchContract result for a ranked tournament

Context Loading:

• Open skills/shared-references/schema-index.md.
• Read packages/agent_contracts/ranking.py and confirm the exact TournamentMatchContract shape before emitting the ranked result.
• Read research_plan/RESEARCH_PLAN.json.
• Read both hypotheses and their review bundles.
• Confirm that the match strategy is ranked_tournament.

Execution Prompt Contract:

• System Intent:
  • You are running a deeper comparative judgment for two high-ranked hypotheses whose relative ordering matters.
• Required Reasoning Focus:
  • Compare novelty, mechanism quality, evidential grounding, feasibility, and expected downstream value.
  • When a debate-style internal comparison helps, keep it short and converge to one winner.
• Do Not Do:
  • Do not leave the match undecided.
  • Do not ignore review weaknesses that materially change the ordering.
• Output Shape:
  • Emit one TournamentMatchContract.
  • match_strategy: ranked_tournament
  • winner_id: one of the two hypothesis IDs
  • reasoning: concise but specific
  • debate_turns: optional short internal debate transcript when useful

Execution Steps:

1. Open skills/shared-references/schema-index.md, then read packages/agent_contracts/ranking.py before emitting the ranked match artifact.
2. Compare the two frontier hypotheses for ranked ordering.
3. Choose exactly one winner.
4. Emit one valid ranked-tournament match result.

Completion Rule:

• This skill is complete only when one valid ranked match result has been produced with a non-empty winner and reasoning.
