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
skill-validator
Health checker for Claude Code skills and commands. Scans ~/.claude/skills/ and commands/ for broken file references, deprecated MCP tool usage, missing frontmatter, script syntax errors, and outdated versions. Supports auto-fix with backup and GitHub update checking.
claude-meta-skills
claude-meta-skills is a technical-preview reliability hook suite for Claude Code. It adds five local hook checks that help Claude catch common agent failure modes while working in a repository: stale Edit context, protected-path modifications, missing or empty writes, failing tests at Stop, and lost recovery context before compaction. It is local-first, metadata-only in persistent logs, and intentionally not a Bash sandbox, broad workflow framework, hosted telemetry tool, or production-proven safety product.
