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
stackpilot
Sprint orchestration for Claude Code. Describe a feature, get production-ready code through an automated design→spec→plan→code→QA pipeline. Drives Claude Code's native Agent tool for multi-agent execution with worktree isolation.

orchestra
Disciplined AI engineering toolkit for Claude Code. Ships typed design-doc templates (Feature LLD, Bug Report, ADR, Postmortem, Runbook, Design Doc) with a 4-gate spec review (Completeness / Evidence / Clarity / Consistency), mandatory mermaid diagrams, an octal-safe auto-numbering script, AGENTS.md and llms.txt sync, a bug-iteration loop that prevents orphan fix-commits, and an enforced doc-before-code workflow with five named gates (Discovery / Design / Spec Review / Commit / Implementation Sync). Includes a Python lint CLI for Refs:-line + metadata + status validation, an auto DECISIONS.md generator with bidirectional ADR supersession consistency. Patterns adopted from Michael Nygard, Google SRE, Pragmatic Engineer, agents.md, and llmstxt.org. First skill of the Orchestra umbrella; future skills cover workflow, registry, tasks, gates, and plans.
