Fewer tokens in every Claude Code session: about 1.6k instead of 5.5–7k.

  • Tool groups loaded on demand: a session starts with the core (ado_status, ado_settings, ado_upgrade,
    ado_work_item, ado_query, ado_search, ado_trace and the new ado_tools), and Claude loads a group with
    ado_tools enable=write (or "write;boards") when the conversation needs it; the client is told about the new tools
    (MCP tools/list_changed). Groups: write, boards, wiki, code, tests, recipes, pr, pipelines. The mode
    says which groups may be loaded. Skills and prompts load the groups they use.
  • adolens config --tool-loading auto|demand|all (or Tools at start in the settings menu). auto, the default: on
    demand in Claude Code; every group of the mode at start in other clients (Claude Desktop), which may not take new
    tools during a conversation. demand: on demand everywhere. all: everything at start.
  • Tool sets renamed to groups: work → write, trace → code, test → tests (old names in the settings still work).
  • Shorter descriptions of ado_update, ado_create and ado_pr_update.
  • Pull request tags (labels): ado_pr_update action=tag tags="R349; -old", tags when creating a PR, and tags shown in
    PR lists, details and merged PRs.
  • Product Owner mode: no pull request or pipeline tools and no developer prompts (dev_*); they stay in the dev and
    full modes.

Fewer tokens in every session: about 1.3k instead of 5.5–7k.

- Tool groups loaded on demand: a session starts with the core (`ado_status`, `ado_settings`, `ado_upgrade`,
  `ado_work_item`, `ado_query`, `ado_search`, `ado_trace` and the new `ado_tools`), and Claude loads a group with

  (MCP `tools/list_changed`). Groups: `write`, `boards`, `wiki`, `code`, `tests`, `recipes`, `pr`, `pipelines`. The mode
  says which groups may be loaded. Skills and prompts load the groups they use.
- `adolens config --load-all-tools true` (or *Tools at start* in the settings menu): every group of the mode at start,
