Progressive context refinement loop for multi-agent workflows solving the subagent context problem.
Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example: Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example: Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example: Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example: Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

Four-phase cycle (dispatch, evaluate, refine, loop) that iteratively narrows retrieval to high-relevance files, capping at 3 iterations to balance token usage and context quality
Scores retrieved files on a 0–1 relevance scale and explicitly identifies missing context gaps to drive the next refinement cycle
Learns codebase terminology and patterns during the first cycle, improving subs

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versioniterative-retrievalExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
epx add affaan-m/everything-claude-code --skill iterative-retrievalFetches iterative-retrieval from affaan-m/everything-claude-code and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/iterative-retrieval
Restart Cursor to activate iterative-retrieval. Access via /iterative-retrievalin your agent's command palette.

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

Useful defaults in iterative-retrieval — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
iterative-retrieval is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: iterative-retrieval is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.
I recommend iterative-retrieval for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
Keeps context tight: iterative-retrieval is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.
iterative-retrieval has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
iterative-retrieval fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
Registry listing for iterative-retrieval matched our evaluation — installs cleanly and behaves as described in the markdown.
Useful defaults in iterative-retrieval — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
We added iterative-retrieval from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
