TypeScript Boilerplate for Extending Claude Code Context Limits

A boilerplate has been developed utilizing Claude's Sub-agents feature to distribute tasks among specialized agents. Each agent maintains its own context window for specific tasks such as requirements analysis, design documentation, TDD implementation, and quality checks.

For instance, an MCP server project that previously reached the 200K token limit successfully processed 770K tokens across agents.

The approach is essentially context engineering, providing each agent with only the necessary information at the right time. Instead of dumping over 40 sections of rule files into one context, agents receive 3-5 relevant sections dynamically selected.

The most surprising aspect was the effectiveness of 'meta-cognition'—an agent that pauses before actions to choose the right context, preventing a lot of rework.
