How does subagent coordination improve results?

Subagents run in parallel within each round to investigate different aspects simultaneously, followed by a sequential synthesis phase that integrates their findings to inform the next round.

Does this skill help with information retention?

Yes, by utilizing step-by-step mental models and deliberate synthesis moments, it reduces cognitive load and ensures a more structured path to retention.

Can this skill be applied to technical documentation?

Absolutely. It is highly effective for mapping out complex software architectures or understanding legacy systems by iteratively building from the foundation up.

What is the 3-round pattern used in this skill?

The pattern consists of a Foundation round for breadth, a Deep Dive round for relational connections, and a Synthesis round for critical evaluation and final comprehension.

When is it best to use the Iterating Code skill?

It is best used for abstract, theoretical, or multi-faceted topics where a simple summary isn't enough and deep, layered understanding is required.

Learning & Documentation

Employs a three-round iterative framework with parallel subagents to master complex, multi-faceted topics through progressive synthesis.

About

This skill implements a structured, multi-agent orchestration pattern designed to tackle highly complex subjects that require more than a single-pass analysis. By breaking investigations into foundational, relational, and analytical rounds, it allows Claude to systematically build mental models, evaluate competing perspectives, and deliver sophisticated synthesis. It is particularly effective for academic research, deep-dive technical explorations, or any scenario where breadth, depth, and critical evaluation must be balanced to achieve a comprehensive understanding.
