claude-delegator vs context-mode
claude-delegator: Claude Delegator is a plugin for Claude Code that enables external model second opinions, multi-provider advisory review, and arbiter-mediated consensus across GPT (Codex), Gemini, Grok, and Claude. It includes seven expert roles (Architect, Plan Reviewer, ect.) that can run in advisory or implementation mode, single-shot or multi-turn.; context-mode: Every tool call in an MCP (Model-Controller-Program) environment dumps raw data into the context window, quickly consuming space and causing the agent to lose track of ongoing tasks. Context Mode is an MCP server that tackles this by sandboxing tool outputs to significantly reduce context usage, tracking session events in SQLite for continuity, and promoting 'think in code' to minimize data processing within the LLM.

Features
claude-delegator017 domain experts for different problem types
02Support for GPT, Gemini, and Grok providers
03Dual mode: advisory (read-only) and implementation (write)
04Auto-routing: Claude detects when to delegate from your request
05Synthesized responses: Claude interprets expert output, never raw passthrough
context-mode01Context Saving: Sandbox tools keep raw data out of the context window, achieving up to 98% reduction.
02Session Continuity: Tracks every file edit, git operation, task, and user decision in SQLite for seamless session resume.
03Think in Code: Promotes LLMs to program analysis, not compute it, saving 100x context by logging only results.
04Batch Execution & Search: Run multiple commands/queries in one call with tools like `ctx_batch_execute`.
05Advanced Knowledge Base: Uses SQLite FTS5 with BM25 ranking, smart snippets, and TTL cache for efficient information retrieval.
