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
dependency-evaluator
Evaluate npm and Python packages before adding them as dependencies. Automatically gathers package metadata, analyzes source complexity, checks security and maintenance health, and produces a structured USE / EXTRACT / BUILD verdict. Auto-triggers when your agent is about to install a new package, or run on-demand with /evaluating-dependencies <package> [function]. Catches supply chain red flags like .pth injection, typosquatting, and stale maintainership.
Attestari
Attestari's verdict on an npm or PyPI package version, asked before an agent installs it.
