A SKILL.md defining an iterative retrieval pattern for multi-agent workflows, where subagents progressively refine context across passes. It describes a 4-phase loop (dispatch, evaluate, refine, loop, max 3 cycles) plus when to use it, rules, and examples.
Use it when a subagent lacks the context it needs and retrieval must be refined across passes.
Use it to
- Spawn subagents needing codebase context they can't predict upfront
- Build multi-agent workflows with progressively refined context
- Gather context for a bug fix across retrieval cycles
- Gather context for feature implementation
- Learn codebase terminology in the first retrieval cycle
