RLM (Recursive Language Model) Pattern

Process files that exceed context limits by dividing them into partitions and coordinating a team of analyst agents to analyze each partition in parallel, then synthesizing their reports.

Based on: arXiv:2512.24601

The Pattern

1. Team Lead detects content type, determines partitioning strategy, and divides the content into manageable chunks.

2. Each Analyst agent (selected by content type) independently analyzes their assigned partition and reports back to team-lead with structured findings.

3. Team Lead collects all analyst reports, then either synthesizes directly or spawns a dedicated Synthesizer agent to produce the consolidated report.

This is a fan-out/fan-in coordination pattern built on agent teams.
