Siftrank

Go CLI that ranks large text collections by having a model compare small randomized batches across repeated trials until the order converges; with Jev it combines returned pairwise probabilities.

About this project

Use LLMs to find the needles in your haystack. 19 Sep '26: SiftRank now supports Jev, alongside OpenAI and compatible Chat Completions APIs. Use --provider jev to get started; see Jev below. Using an agent? Install the SiftRank agent skill to help it retrieve the most relevant items from large datasets on the fly.

Quoted from the project's README. Read the full README.

Highlights

  • With `--provider jev`, SiftRank has Jev compare item pairs in each batch, turns the probabilities into an ordering, and runs its convergence algorithm.
  • Repeated trials over randomized batches replace one large request, fixing nondeterminism, context limits, truncated output, and incomparable scores.
  • Results carry `rank` and a `score` that the README explicitly calls an internal ranking score, not a probability or a calibrated confidence value.
  • For JSON input a Go template controls what the model sees, while every result keeps the complete original object, metadata included, under `document`.

Watch out

Go binary with no license stated in the README section reviewed. Jev cannot be combined with reasoning effort or the `--relevance` justification flag, so you clear effort with an empty value and lose that pass. The output `score` is a ranking artifact rather than a calibrated probability and should not be thresholded as confidence. Copy reviewed against the repository README on 2026-10-04, not from running it.

The request shape barely changes across surfaces; the surrounding contract does. When to call the API directly and when a gateway, a Worker binding, or a router entry earns its extra hop.
