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
dev-loop
Multi-agent orchestration grounded in an LLM wiki. /dev-loop:orchestrate splits one goal into a dependency graph of parallel Claude Code sessions, each in its own worktree, and supervises them natively on Orca (a tracked Task + Dispatch per phase, pushed worker_done / question / escalation events instead of polling, stall detection; raw tmux fallback). Every plan decision must cite a page in a bundled best-practice wiki of 400+ pages across 10 domains, checked by machine gates and a fresh-context plan reviewer. Insights from your sessions are queued and turned into reviewed wiki PRs when you run /dev-loop:knowledge-flush (automatic flushing is opt-in and never bypasses permission checks).
RoryPlans
AI work orchestration for plans, tasks, teams, and coding-agent dispatch.
