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
playwright-pro
Playwright Pro turns your AI coding agent into a senior test automation engineer. Instead of generating tutorial-quality tests with brittle CSS selectors, Playwright Pro enforces battle-tested patterns from production test suites: role-based locators, web-first assertions, proper fixture architecture, and isolated test design. It doesn't reinvent Claude Code — it orchestrates it. /pw:generate uses the built-in Explore subagent for codebase analysis. /pw:migrate delegates to /batch for parallel file conversion. /pw:fix leverages /debug for trace inspection. Every skill builds on what Claude Code already does well. 55 ready-to-use test templates across 11 categories — authentication, CRUD, checkout, search, forms, dashboard, settings, onboarding, notifications, API testing, and accessibility. Each template includes TypeScript and JavaScript variants with parametrizable placeholders. Not generic stubs — real patterns like Stripe iframe handling, GraphQL mutation testing, and RBAC permission flows. 3 specialized
