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
Plugin Forge
Eval-first plugin builder: primitive decision records, generated eval suites with arming gates, sha256-frozen contracts, goal-loop builds in isolated worktrees, verified ships. The suite is the contract; green is the definition of done.
forge
Spec-driven autonomous development workflow. /forge:contract writes a thorough spec via code exploration, library research, and gray-area discussion. /forge:auto loops build→evaluate→fix until ACCEPT. Includes /forge:build, /forge:evaluate, /forge:parallel, /forge:pulse, /forge:status. Evidence-before-checkbox discipline and skeptical fresh-context evaluation built in.
