Context Mode is an MCP server that sandboxes tool output, reducing context usage by 98% (315 KB to 5.4 KB). It tracks session events in SQLite with FTS5 indexing and BM25 retrieval for continuity across compactions, and enforces a code-first paradigm across 17 clients plus OpenClaw. The server provides 11 MCP tools and hooks for automatic routing.

score
score 8 out of 10. 0-10: how dense the facts are, multiplied by how much you can do with them after reading. 8+ means the topic's evidence bar is met: benchmarks and availability for a new model, amount and investors for a funding round, revenue figures for a solo-money story. Below 5 an item does not enter the digest. A press release scores 3 or less, a reprint loses 2, anything older than 14 days loses 1, a headline that misleads loses 3.
