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.

Key capabilities: - Create workflow definitions with proper JSON schema and input expressions - Start, monitor, and search workflow executions by status, time, or correlation ID - Signal WAIT and HUMAN tasks for human-in-the-loop patterns - Scaffold workers in Python, JavaScript, Java, Go, C#, Ruby, or Rust - Visualize workflows as Mermaid diagrams - Manage multiple environments with CLI profiles - Enterprise features: schedules, secrets, webhooks (Orkes) Works with any Conductor server — local development or remote. Installs and configures the conductor CLI automatically.
