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
llamaparse-plugin
LlamaCloud document operations for Claude Code: parse, extract, classify, and split documents with LlamaIndex's hosted services, all from one plugin. Four lazy-loaded skills, each routed by name so context only enters Claude's window when needed: - llamaparse — turn PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, images, and scans into clean markdown or text via LlamaParse v2 (handles tables, multi-column layout, OCR, mixed text+images). - llamaextract — pull structured JSON out of a document against a JSON Schema you supply (invoice line items, contract terms, form fields, entities). - llamaclassify — categorize a document into one of a defined set of labels with a confidence score and a short reasoning string. - llamasplit — break a long document into typed sections with page ranges and per-section confidence (LlamaSplit v1 beta). Includes a standalone `llamaparse` CLI (`parse / extract / classify / split` subcommands plus `doctor` for preflight checks) so the same code powers scripts, CI jobs, and the Claude Code skills. R
ai.extend/extend
Turn documents into structured data: parse, extract, classify, split, and fill PDF forms.
