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
ux-superpowers
User-centered design methodology for coding agents. Before you brainstorm solutions or write code, UX Superpowers guides you through structured UX discovery: identifying who you're building for (personas), what they're trying to accomplish (jobs-to-be-done), how they experience the problem today (user journey maps), and how you'll know if you succeeded (telemetry and success metrics). Accepts raw user research data (interviews, surveys, support tickets, analytics) or guides discovery from scratch. Produces a UX Discovery Document that anchors all subsequent development. Currently ships 8 skills and works for any software type - web apps, CLIS, APIs, mobile, infrastructure, internal tools, games. Eventually there will be more skills that help in UX Discovery. Designed to complement the Superpowers plugin by owning the "what and why" before the "how".
Design
Accelerate design workflows — critique, design system management, UX writing, accessibility audits, research synthesis, and dev handoff. From exploration to pixel-perfect specs.
