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
Python Interpreter
A Python-based execution tool that mimics a Jupyter notebook environment. It accepts code snippets, executes them, and maintains state across sessions — preserving variables, imports, and past results. Ideal for iterative development, debugging, or code execution.
claude-code-notify
claude-code-notify sends a desktop notification whenever Claude Code finishes responding, so you never miss a prompt while working across multiple sessions. Each notification shows your session name (from /rename) and the first 80 characters of Claude's last response, giving you context at a glance. When running in tmux, the notification includes the window index so you know exactly where to switch. The plugin is focus-aware: if you're already looking at the Claude session (detected via tmux pane, window, and terminal focus state), the notification is suppressed. On macOS without tmux, it checks whether your terminal app is frontmost. A 5-second debounce prevents notification spam during rapid tool calls. Works on Linux (notify-send) and macOS (osascript). Requires jq and bash 4+. tmux is optional but recommended for the best experience. Configuration is zero-config by default, with two optional environment variables: CLAUDE_NOTIFY_CONTEXT (adds a Work/Personal prefix) and CLAUDE_NOTIFY_URGENCY (sets notifica
