Six days ago I posted a write-up on Hacker News explaining how Context Mode reduces Claude Code's context consumption by 98%. I expected a handful of comments. I got 565 points, 107 comments, and the kind of feedback that makes you stay up until 4 AM shipping features.
What's new:
- Five platform adapters: Claude Code, Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot, OpenCode, Codex CLI
- Session Continuity: survives context compactions, restores state automatically (~3h sessions vs ~30 min)
- ctx_batch_execute: one call replaces 30+ individual commands
- Three-layer fuzzy search: Porter stemming, trigram substring, Levenshtein
- FTS5 deduplication, background mode, SSL cert auto-detection
