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
open-skills
Reusable skills for AI coding agents. Every skill has a readable SKILL.md; 40 of 70 also carry a declarative protocol.yon with named steps, rules, and gates validated structurally by @younndai/yon-parser. Validation does not enforce runtime obedience. Read before you trust.
SuperSkill Registry
Find, inspect and install reviewed reusable AI-agent capabilities from superskill.sh.
