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
Forge
One config, every AI coding tool. Cross-tool rules emitter, enforced guards, code-graph, memory, and cost governor.
nexus-agents
Intelligent orchestration platform for AI coding tools. Coordinates Claude, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode through a single MCP server — routing each task to the best model using data-driven algorithms (LinUCB bandit, TOPSIS scoring), validating outputs through multi-model consensus voting, and continuously improving through outcome-driven learning. Features 29 MCP tools, 11 expert types created on demand, 8 memory backends with cross-session persistence, a full dev pipeline (research, plan, vote, implement, QA, security), and research discovery from 9 sources including arXiv and GitHub.
