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
handoff-engineering
Conversation-handoff document generator. Compacts the current session into a markdown handoff for a fresh agent — references existing artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits) by path/URL instead of duplicating them. Derived from Matt Pocock's MIT-licensed handoff with: (1) 3 stdlib Python tools (template generator tailored to 5 next-session emphases, artifact deduplicator across 5 categories of duplication, skill recommender matching content to 14 skills in this repo), (2) 4 references citing 7-8 sources (handoff structure, deduplication discipline, next-session skill matching, companion tooling), (3) cs-handoff-author persona agent + /cs:handoff slash command. Matt's no-duplication discipline + mktemp convention preserved verbatim per MIT.
