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.

parrot
Kills self-repetition in LLM responses. Cuts 30-40% wasted tokens by eliminating restated questions, echoed instructions, recap paragraphs, and repeated ideas. Supports three intensity levels (lite, full, off) switchable via /parrot command. Auto-activates every session via SessionStart hook. Works with Claude Code's plugin system — install via claude plugin marketplace add animeshpatni94/parrot then claude plugin install parrot@parrot. Stacks with other skills like caveman for up to 80% token reduction.
