iterative-retrieval SKILL.md skillA
iterative-retrieval from aaaaqwq/agi-super-team is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add aaaaqwq/agi-super-team/iterative-retrieval@git:20260721.4bfa205Pins git:20260721.4bfa205 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Progressively refine codebase and evidence retrieval for agents using dispatch, evaluation, query refinement, and bounded iteration. Use when a task spans unfamiliar modules, initial context is incomplete or noisy, an agent reports missing context, or parallel workers need compact evidence packets.
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
# Iterative Retrieval Pattern Solve the context problem in multi-agent workflows where agents do not know what evidence they need until investigation begins. ## 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 Standard approaches fail: - **Send everything**: Exceeds context limits - **Send nothing**: Agent lacks critical information - **Guess what's needed**: Often wrong ## The Solution: Iterative Retrieval A 4-phase loop that progressively refines context: ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ │ │ │ DISPATCH │─────│ EVALUATE │ │ …

How to install
mdr add aaaaqwq/agi-super-team/iterative-retrieval@sha256:b6f67105d27bd11aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260721.4bfa205, 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.
