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.

ChatGPT Importer
Import a ChatGPT conversation into local files via the browser.

Includes a two-pass redaction skill and a conversation-to-context workflow that writes transcripts into a repo's context/ folder.
