context-retrieval-loop skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 copies on public GitHub. Same content hash, same audit grade.
context-retrieval-loop is agent-read markdown (skill) from yeaight7/agent-powerups: 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..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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@git:20260606.226e8b5mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/context-retrieval-loop@sha256:359642778e73a0a4Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
