Anthropic: Multi-Agent Research System pattern

Anthropic's orchestrator-worker blueprint: a lead agent plans and spawns specialized subagents with strict specs, plus a citation pass.

Why you: It maps almost 1:1 onto your Scout Council and gives concrete anti-drift and effort-scaling rules to encode into Axion.

claude-code-router tool

Routes Claude Code requests to any model backend (local Ollama/Qwen/DeepSeek, OpenRouter, cheaper APIs) instead of only Anthropic.

Why you: Cuts cost and adds a local fallback for your existing Axion/Claude Code setup without changing your workflow.

Anthropic: Effective Context Engineering pattern

Treats context as a finite budget with tactics: just-in-time retrieval, compaction, sub-agent isolation, note-taking.
