Context Gathering

Used when retrieval is needed before implementation.

Steps

  1. Identify real task

  2. Build retrieval plan:

    • rules
    • prerequisites
    • code paths
    • edge cases
  3. Retrieve minimal info

  4. Identify gaps

Output

retrieval_plan:
retrieved_context:
gaps:
ready_to_proceed:

Rule

Do not proceed with missing critical context

Failure Behavior

  • If a file cannot be found → note as gap, check for renames/moves
  • If pattern is ambiguous → list multiple interpretations, ask for clarification
  • If prerequisites are missing → stop and list what's needed
  • If gaps remain after retrieval → explicitly state "NOT READY" with blockers

Use it
