Iterative Retrieval
affaan-m/everything-claude-codeImagine an AI agent that needs to explore your codebase but does not know where to look. This pattern solves that problem with a simple loop. It starts with a broad search and then refines the search based on what it finds. The agent never wastes tokens on irrelevant files. It keeps narrowing down until it has the right context.
This method works for any project where subagents need to find relevant code or information. It stops the common failures of sending too much or too little context. The loop runs up to three times to balance speed and accuracy.
