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
Git (Reference)
Git repository interaction and automation.
commit-craft
Turn a tangled working tree into a clean, reviewable commit series. Three deterministic stdlib scripts over git: a series planner that groups changes into commits in build-safe order (manifest with lockfile, pure moves, formatting, each module's change with its tests, docs, CI), holds back .env and key files, and flags mixed formatting and moves whose callers would break; a secret gate that scans staged or pushed lines for provider tokens, high-entropy secrets, sensitive files and conflict markers and blocks before the commit exists, with redacted output and reasoned waivers; and a message linter that blocks vague subjects, missing why on large changes and pending fixup commits, matching the repo's own convention. Ships pre-commit, commit-msg and pre-push hooks, cs-commit-craft agent, /cs-commit-craft and /cs-commit-check commands and 3 cited references.
