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
E2B
Giving Claude ability to run code with E2B via MCP (Model Context Protocol).
agent-smith
Agent Smith adds two slash commands to Claude Code: /analyze-agent performs a full configuration audit across 7 evaluation pillars (Security, Instruction Clarity, Configuration Quality, Context Efficiency, Command Design, Hook Safety, MCP Integration), scores each area, identifies issues by severity, and walks you through an interactive fix workflow. /create-agent scaffolds a new configuration with security deny rules and best practices. The tool is honest about its scope — it only measures user-configurable components and clearly states what's outside its reach.
