Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.

designs-drift
design-drift prevents AI agents from drifting away from your design system in real time. Lock any of existing brands design systems and every Write/Edit to a UI file is automatically scanned. Colors, fonts, spacing, and border-radius checked against the brand's actual tokens. Violations surface inline with exact fix hints. No hardcoded data: tokens are extracted dynamically from bundled SKILL.md constraint files and DESIGN.md visual token files, both of which are open-source repositories.
