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
grill-me
Relentless plan-and-design interrogator. Walks the decision tree one branch at a time, asking forcing questions sequentially with recommended answers. Explores codebase before asking. Derived from Matt Pocock's MIT-licensed grill-me with: (1) 3 stdlib Python tools (decision-tree extractor across 6 branch kinds, question generator with dependency-aware ordering, JSON-backed session tracker for multi-day grills), (2) 3 references citing 7-8 sources (6 forcing-question patterns, when to stop grilling, companion tooling), (3) cs-grill-master persona agent + /cs-grill-me slash command. Matt's relentless one-at-a-time interview discipline preserved verbatim per MIT.
codex-review
