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.

thesis-polish

It rewrites AI-assisted or mechanically-written thesis drafts into more authentic, human-sounding academic prose while strictly preserving professional terminology, data, citations, and original meaning. The skill applies eight core strategies including adding natural filler words, replacing mechanical transition phrases, varying sentence rhythm, and breaking overly-perfect parallel structures that are characteristic of AI-generated text
