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.
prepkit-product
Product management skills for Claude Code. Gives Claude structured methodologies for discovery synthesis (JTBD, empathy mapping, journey mapping), user research design (interview guides, screeners, synthesis plans), opportunity mapping (pursue/monitor/defer decisions), PRD authoring (evidence-linked requirements, Given/When/Then scenarios), prioritization (RICE, MoSCoW, ICE scoring), metrics analysis (North Star, metric trees, HEART framework), engagement design (habit loops, gamification, PLG flows), and validation (evidence grading, cheapest-next-evidence routing). Each skill enforces evidence quality gates and chains into the next logical product step.
