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
onboard
End-to-end Claude tooling generator for existing codebases. Performs deep codebase analysis (languages, frameworks, conventions, complexity), walks you through an interactive wizard, then generates a complete suite of Claude artifacts — CLAUDE.md files, path-scoped rules, project-specific skills and agents, hook configuration, PR templates, and commit conventions. Unlike recommendation-only tools, onboard produces actual files tailored to your project's detected patterns and enforced configs. Includes drift detection via /onboard:evolve to keep tooling aligned as your codebase changes. Also serves as the generation engine for the companion forge plugin (new projects) via headless invocation.
radius
Model, visualize, and deploy applications with Radius from the GitHub Copilot app and CLI.

No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
Neither one's marketplaces publish a list of tools, so there is nothing to compare.
Settings each asks for
Neither one's marketplaces publish the settings it asks for.
