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
Sequential Thinking (Reference)
Dynamic and reflective problem-solving through thought sequences.
strategy-pack
Two read-only Claude Code subagents designed for solo founders and small teams whose strategy lives in distributed markdown docs. **/business-critic** — daily devil's-advocate. Reads your BUSINESS.md, ROADMAP.md, and recent session log; does live web search for competitor moves and industry news; produces a critique where every doubt cites a URL or a falsifiable experiment. Rotates through seven critique dimensions (positioning, activation gates, monetization, competitive substitution, GTM, founder reality, strategic drift), going deep on three or four per run. No cheerleading. **/pm** — weekly cross-document alignment auditor. Scans BUSINESS.md, ROADMAP.md, every backlog (todo-*.md / BACKLOG-*.md), in-flight plan files, API contract docs, and git log. Flags orphaned commitments ("ROADMAP promised X, no owning task"), blocked-by mismatches across domains, stale plans, and API doc lag. Drafts follow-up plan stubs without ever editing your docs. Both agents are strictly read-only — they produce reports you act
