Use when starting work in an unfamiliar area of a codebase, spawning a subagent that needs targeted file context, a first search pass missed the relevant file, or the file scope of a task is unclear.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Context Retrieval Loop Gather the right codebase context before making changes or spawning subagents. ## When to Use - Starting work in an unfamiliar area - Spawning a subagent that needs targeted file context - First search pass returned nothing useful ## The 3-Cycle Loop ### Cycle 1 — Broad Search ```bash rg "<primary-keyword>" --type ts --type js -l find . -name "*<keyword>*" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" ``` Stop here if 3+ directly relevant files found. ### Cycle 2 — Exact Source and Tests Read the most relevant files from Cycle 1. Then find: ```bash rg "<filename-stem>" --glob "*.test.*" --glob "*.spec.*" -l rg "import.*<module-name>" -l ``` Stop here if you can describe the change and its blast radius. ### Cycle 3 — Docs and Setup ```bash ls docs/ README.md AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md .claude/ 2>/dev/null rg "<keyword>" .env.example *.config.* 2>/dev/null ``` ## Stopping Conditions Stop when: 3+ high-relevance files understood, OR Cycle 3 complete, OR new cycles return only files already seen. ## Output ``` Context gathered: <file-path> — <one-line reason> Missing context (if any): <what is still unclear> ``` …

How to install
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/context-retrieval-loop@sha256:94b0e255fe2b647eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.e72533e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
