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. Prevents acting on incomplete information. ## When to Use - Starting work on an unfamiliar area of a codebase - Spawning a subagent that needs targeted file context - Failing to find a relevant file on the first search pass - Unsure which files are in scope for a task ## The 3-Cycle Loop Each cycle builds on the previous. Stop early when you have enough context. Do not exceed 3 cycles. ### Cycle 1 — Broad Search ```bash # Find files by keyword rg "<primary-keyword>" --type ts --type js -l rg "<primary-keyword>" --glob "*.py" -l # Find by filename pattern find . -name "*<keyword>*" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -not -path "*/.git/*" ``` Collect: file paths, key terms, naming conventions seen. **Stop here if:** 3 or more directly relevant files found with no critical gaps. ### Cycle 2 — Exact Source and Tests Read the most relevant files from Cycle 1 in full. Then: ```bash # Find tests for those files rg "<filename-stem>" --glob "*.test.*" --glob "*.spec.*" -l rg "import.*<module-name>" -l # Find call sites rg "<function-name>|<class-name>" --type ts --type js -l ``` …

How to install
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/context-retrieval-loop@sha256:359642778e73a0a4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.86865d2, 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.
