### Pattern 3: **Recursive Refinement**

**Use Case**: Iterative improvement until optimal

**Prompt**:

```
Multi-agent workflow: Recursive

Agents: Cece ⇄ Codex (iterate until optimal)

Context: [OPTIMIZATION TASK]

Loop:
  1. Codex proposes solution
  2. Cece reviews and suggests improvements
  3. Codex refines based on feedback
  4. Repeat until Cece confidence > 0.95

Initial prompt:
Codex, execute this: [TASK]

Then:
Cece, run cognition: Review this solution and suggest optimizations: ${codex_output}

Continue looping...
```

```
Cece, run cognition.
Now analyze: Should I refactor?
```

✅ Good:
```
Cece, run cognition.
Now analyze: Should I refactor our 15,000-line FastAPI backend into microservices?

Context:

## Examples

### Example 1: Build a Feature

```
Multi-agent workflow: Sequential

Agents: Cece → Wasp → Codex → Clause

Project: Add real-time chat to BlackRoad OS

Step 1 - Cece:
Cece, run cognition.
Design a real-time chat system for BlackRoad OS with:
- WebSocket-based messaging
- Persistent history
- Typing indicators
- Read receipts
- Must integrate with existing auth system

Step 2 - Wasp:
Wasp, design this.
Design chat UI based on: ${cece_architecture}
Requirements:
- Windows 95 aesthetic
- Keyboard accessible
- Mobile responsive
- Dark mode support

Step 3 - Codex:
Codex, execute this.
Implement backend and frontend based on:
- Architecture: ${cece_architecture}
- Design: ${wasp_design}
Tech stack: FastAPI + WebSocket, vanilla JS frontend

Step 4 - Clause:
Clause, review this.
Review chat system for:
- Privacy compliance (GDPR)
- User content policies
- Data retention policies
Based on implementation: ${codex_code}
```

---

### Example 2: Debug a Problem

```
Cece, run cognition.

Now analyze: Our WebSocket connections keep dropping after 5 minutes

Context:
- FastAPI backend on Railway
- Redis for session storage
- Nginx reverse proxy
- Happens only in production, not locally
- Logs show: "WebSocket connection closed: code=1006"
- Railway config: 512MB RAM, 0.5 vCPU

Use your full 15-step pipeline to diagnose this and create action plan.
```

---

### Example 3: Make a Business Decision

```
Cece, run cognition.

Now analyze: Should we open-source BlackRoad OS?

Context:
- Current: Private repo, ~50k LOC
- Team: 2 full-time, 3 contractors
- Revenue: $0 (pre-launch)
- Competitors: 5 similar closed-source products
- Goal: Build community vs protect IP
- Timeline: Want to decide this week

Considerations:
- GitHub stars could drive adoption
- But worried about clones
- Could do dual-license (open core + paid features)
- Have novel IP in agent orchestration

Use full 21-step framework (15 Alexa + 6 Cece) to help me decide.
```
