iterate SKILL.md skillA

iterate from szoloth/skill-pack is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add szoloth/skill-pack/iterate@git:20260303.cf416f2

Pins git:20260303.cf416f2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Diverge-converge workflow: spin up N agents on isolated worktrees, each exploring a different approach to the same problem. Compare results side-by-side (with optional preview ports), pick a winner, merge it back. Use when the user says /iterate, 'try multiple approaches', 'explore different directions', or wants to compare implementations.

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

# /iterate — Diverge, Compare, Converge

Spin up N parallel agents on isolated git worktrees, each exploring a different direction for the same problem. Review all variants, pick the best, merge it back.

## When to Use

- User wants to explore multiple approaches to a problem
- Design/UI work where visual comparison matters
- Refactoring where there are multiple valid strategies
- Any task where "try a few things and pick the best" is the right move

## Prerequisites

- Must be inside a git repository with a clean working tree (or stashable changes)
- The repo should have committed state to branch from

## Usage

```
/iterate <task description>
/iterate 3 <task description>        # explicit count (default: 3)
/iterate 2 redesign the settings page using shadcn
```

## How It Works

### Phase 1: Parse Arguments

Parse `$ARGUMENTS` to extract:
- **N** (number of variants): First token if it's a number 1-5, otherwise default to **3**
- **Task**: Everything after the count (or all of $ARGUMENTS if no count)

If no arguments provided, ask the user:
1. What task/problem should the agents explore?
2. How many variants? (default 3)

### Phase 2: Generate Divergent Angles

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add szoloth/skill-pack/iterate@sha256:d5f4e78244fc1937

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.cf416f2, 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.
