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
learn
Research any topic online and create comprehensive learning guides with RAG-optimized indexes for your AI agents. `/learn react hooks` searches the web for ~20 sources, scores each on a 100-point scale across authority (3x), recency (2x), depth (2x), examples (2x), and uniqueness (1x), fetches only high-scoring sources, and writes a synthesized guide to `agent-knowledge/<topic>.md` with companion `resources/<topic>-sources.json` containing full source metadata. Six-stage methodology: progressive discovery, quality scoring, just-in-time extraction, synthesis, source citation, RAG optimization. Output shape designed for ingestion by Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex agent-knowledge libraries.
