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
pr-review-toolkit
Comprehensive PR review agents specializing in comments, tests, error handling, type design, code quality, and code simplification
challenger
Multi-agent adversarial plugin that stress-tests code decisions, architecture plans, and reasoning through evidence-backed challenge rounds. Four specialized agents (Skeptic, Sentinel, Architect, Pragmatist) take turns poking holes in your conclusions using actual codebase evidence — reading code, searching patterns, and checking git history. Auto-scales intensity from quick sanity checks to brutal multi-round reviews based on stakes. Includes a passive advisory agent that suggests challenging during high-stakes moments, and a report generator for audit trails.
