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
claude-flow
Structured project cognition + autonomous execution framework for Claude Code. Includes 9 skills (TDD enforcement, 8-layer deep-task engine, persistent DAG scheduler, adversarial code review, bug diagnosis, feature planning, brainstorming), 3 specialized agents (feature-builder, code-reviewer, test-writer), and 5 hooks (file protection, bash validation, lint feedback, session state persistence, context reinjection). Helps Claude Code work on complex, multi-step engineering tasks with structure, verification, and continuity.
make-it-work
Skills that make Claude actually work in your project. Not just generally, but specifically, the way your codebase is built. Built for engineering teams working on large, complex codebases. Not greenfield side projects. When your codebase has history, domain rules, and legacy decisions baked in, "generally smart" isn't enough. Claude needs to know your project. go-deep maps your codebase from the inside out and builds a layered documentation system so every Claude session starts grounded in your project's real structure, rules, and use cases. Not generic assumptions. close-the-gaps acts as a Product Analyst before development begins: it finds every gap in a ticket (unclear language, missing edge cases, conflicting requirements), walks you through them one by one, and outputs a Gherkin-ready refined spec. The cost of a vague ticket is paid in rework. close-the-gaps makes sure requirements are solid before a single line of code is written.
