Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.

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
buildkite
Official Buildkite skills for Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI coding agents — pipelines, migration, preflight, agent runtime, CLI, and API
gortex
Your AI's live map of your codebase — every call, dependency, and contract indexed across your repos, shared across every running agent via a local daemon. Gives Claude Code 52 graph-aware tools so they answer "what calls this?", "what breaks if I rename UserStore?", or "which services consume this endpoint?" in one call instead of grepping for minutes. Real AST parsing across 92 languages — deterministic, zero LLM calls during indexing. Useful before refactoring, when tracing bugs across services, exploring unfamiliar code, or any time your agent reaches for Grep or Read. Returns precise answers tagged with confidence tiers (compiler-grade vs heuristic). Local-first, source-available, free under defined thresholds.
