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
universal-basic-compute
Domain-agnostic agent toolkit for discovering and assembling free-tier resources into working outcomes. You state a goal; the master agent decomposes it into the minimum viable resource set, discovers and verifies free-tier services that can fulfill each component, and produces a concrete recipe to deploy the outcome. Ships with a compute domain (free-tier cloud services into deployed software) and self-expands into new domains — education, health, finance — as users bring new goals. Built around a six-agent protocol (master, discovery, verification, assembly, deployment, monitoring) with credential management, capability fingerprinting, and recipe versioning. Designed for people who want the outcome, not the procurement journey.
