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
orchestrator
Generate ready-to-paste Claude Code prompts with the right agent, orchestration pattern, and safety rails. Orchestrator synthesises patterns from 6 open-source projects into a single skill — 9 orchestration patterns, 15-domain agent selection, loop safety with circuit breakers, swarm coordination (hierarchical and mesh), multi-model consensus review, and sentinel quality gates. Describe a task, get an optimal prompt you can copy-paste into Claude Code.
lean
Plan tasks with optimal model routing to minimize token usage. Breaks work into steps, assigns each the right model (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus), adds quality gates between stages, persists the plan to file, and reports savings after execution. Includes a companion hook for always-on model suggestions. Use /lean before complex tasks.
