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.
What each says it does
DeepWiki
Tools for fetching and asking questions about GitHub repositories.
DeepWiki Index
Index a public GitHub repo's DeepWiki (the page the 'Ask DeepWiki' badge links to) hands-free, and do it autonomously after publishing or updating a repo — no human clicking. Encodes the verified deepwiki.com trigger (api.devin.ai/ada/index_public_repo, reCAPTCHA v2-invisible) and the trusted-browser path: drive the real desktop browser (screen-mcp) or run the bundled Playwright helper with a real Chrome profile so the captcha passes silently, then poll the public status API to completed.
