Iterative Retrieval Pattern FAQs

Question 1

What is the context problem in multi-agent workflows?

Accepted Answer

The context problem occurs when sub-agents are spawned with limited information and lack the knowledge of which files, patterns, or project-specific terms are necessary to complete their specific task.

Question 2

When should I use this pattern?

Accepted Answer

Use it when tasks require deep codebase knowledge but the specific files needed cannot be predicted at the start, or when initial searches fail to find the correct files due to naming conventions.

Question 3

How does iterative retrieval save tokens?

Accepted Answer

By evaluating and filtering out irrelevant files and refining search queries based on initial findings, it prevents the model from processing unnecessary code, thereby staying within context limits.

Question 4

What are the four stages of this skill?

Accepted Answer

The four stages are: Dispatch (initial broad query), Evaluate (relevance scoring), Refine (updating criteria based on gaps), and Loop (repeating the process until sufficient context is found).

Question 5

How many cycles are recommended for context retrieval?

Accepted Answer

The pattern recommends a maximum of 3 cycles. This balance provides enough depth to find hidden patterns without causing excessive latency or infinite loops.
