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.

claudecode-rexd-target
Claude Code plugin for working with configured remote machines through REXD over SSH stdio. It adds target switching, remote filesystem tools, remote command execution, search, patch/edit support, and PTY sessions through a bundled MCP server. When a target is active, the plugin blocks Claude Code’s local filesystem/search/shell built-ins and directs Claude to the remote REXD tools instead.
