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).
fde-os
FDEOS makes Claude operate like an experienced Forward Deployed Engineer. It brings the judgment FDEs need that generic AI lacks: when to challenge the brief, how to earn trust before touching code, how to build safely in a codebase you did not create, and how to hand over clean when the engagement ends. 13 skills covering the full FDE lifecycle from first meeting to final handoff. Enterprise overlays for healthcare (HIPAA), fintech (PCI-DSS), and government (FedRAMP) activate when the context is detected
