Pack comparison
Two packs, side-by-side. Merged comparisons, shared shape, and diff highlights in one view.

Merged comparisons
Head-to-head claims from both packs
Each row is attributed to the pack that authored it. The winner column is normalised to this compare view (A / B / Tie).
| Source | Alternative | Axis | Winner | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | single-model-sonnet | accuracy | A | Advisor retains ~93% of Opus-only pass-rate vs Sonnet-only's ~85%. The delta comes from the 8-12% of steps that actually need Opus. |
| A | single-model-sonnet | cost | Alternative | Sonnet-only is ~20% cheaper than the advisor variant on the same workload — if the quality gap doesn't matter, skip the advisor. |
| A | prompt-chaining | complexity | Alternative | Prompt chaining is simpler to implement but can't route by difficulty. Advisor adds complexity to capture the cost/quality tradeoff. |
| A | orchestrator-workers | latency | A | Advisor is a flat loop — no orchestrator fan-out. Lower tail latency on sequential tasks. Orchestrator wins on parallelisable ones. |
| B | advisor-pattern-v2 | complexity | Alternative | Advisor is a specialized loop shape running inside a pipeline like this one. Advisor is simpler because it ignores the shaper chain; this pack is the whole pipeline. |
| B | claude-code-guide | maintainability | Tie | Claude Code Guide is the operator's view (AGENTS.md, hooks, skills); this pack is the implementer's view (loop, shapers, recovery). Use together when onboarding a team building a clone. |
| B | orchestrator-workers | accuracy | Tie | Orchestrator-workers is the canonical pattern family; this pack is the specific instantiation inside Claude Code's harness. The match is substantial but not total — the 5-shaper chain is not part of the generic orchestrator-workers shape. |
