Iterative Retrieval Pattern
by affaan-m/everything-claude-code
Pattern for progressively refining context retrieval to solve the subagent context problem
Skill content
Iterative Retrieval Pattern Solves the "context problem" in multi-agent workflows where subagents don't know what context they need until they start working. When to Activate - Spawning subagents that need codebase context they cannot predict upfront - Building multi-agent workflows where context is progressively refined - Encountering "context too large" or "missing context" failures in agent tasks - Designing RAG-like retrieval pipelines for code exploration - Optimizing token usage in agent orchestration The Problem Subagents are spawned with limited context. They don't know: - Which files contain relevant code - What patterns exist in the codebase - What terminology the project uses
