What it is.
Honest ranking as a discipline — declared axes, weights that must sum to 100, evidence-cited scores, and a mandatory stress test before any verdict ships.
Unknowns stay unknown — the card never invents a score to fill a cell, and a ranking that can’t survive one challenged weight says so on its face.
What’s in the buy.
RANKER-CARD.md + SKILL.md — the judgment seat for your own Claude
The five-move rite: name, declare, weight to 100, score with receipts, stress the verdict
The ledger: field, axes, Σ check, top three, what would flip it
LICENSE + START-HERE — the term, plainly
PROOF · NO RANKING WITHOUT THE WEIGHT CHECK PASSING
ON EVERY DOOR · A CARD FOR YOUR AI, A FILE FOR YOUR COMPUTER
This card is an Agent Skill on the open standard: the same folder loads unmodified in Claude, ChatGPT and Codex, Copilot and VS Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Goose, OpenCode and the rest of the showcase. Its words are Markdown, so any chat with an instructions box holds them, any local model runs them offline, and any MCP client can load them — THE UNIVERSAL CUT: a pasteable system card, the rules-file family, an Ollama Modelfile, an MCP server, all cut from this card’s own SKILL.md by THE CARD FORGE. The universal cut joins this card’s box as its package is re-cut. And card.html — the card as one file for your computer: both faces, the tin, the words, every door; offline, in any browser. The machines aboard run wherever the host can run Python; the words run everywhere. The host marks →
See it seated.
SCHEMATIC DEMO — THE REAL THING RUNS IN YOUR OWN CLAUDE. PRESS PLAY; NOTHING MOVES UNTIL YOU DO.
Take it.

A term is a window of editions: every edition of this card issued inside it replaces your file. When the window closes, the file you hold keeps working — freeze, not loss. Nothing auto-renews; come back and take another term when you want the next editions.
