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
agent-launcher-skills
Build, launch, grade, and schedule Claude Managed Agents (CMA) in your own Anthropic account — a plugin re-implementation of Anthropic's launch-your-agent reference skill (Apache-2.0; independent, not a fork). Every session starts with a goal (./my-agent/goal.json, opt-in SessionStart hook, driven by /cs-goal); loop_compiler.py compiles it into a bounded grade->iterate loop (max_iterations 1..20), a recurring cron scheduled-deployment loop, or a single-pass interview->stage->launch workflow. 6 skills: orchestrator (context: fork goal router) + interview + stage-launch + grade-iterate + run-without-you + wrap-up. 18 stdlib-only deterministic scaffolders (no network/API calls; live launches emitted as BYOK curl that never prints the key), 4 agents, 8 commands, hooks, 5 references, 4 assets. Validators enforce CMA limits. Distinct from engineering/agent-harness (generic domain loop) and write-a-skill (authors Claude Code skills, not CMAs).
