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
Advisor
Consult a stronger model before major decisions, when stuck, and before declaring done.
wizard
Wizard turns any recurring task you do with AI into a reusable workflow ("a spell") that runs in one command. At its core it's a meta-builder: it interviews you about a task you already do, drafts a tested SKILL.md, and saves it to your personal library. Or point it at a chat session that worked and it'll infer the spell directly. Ships with 25 hand-crafted spells covering research, writing, decisions, planning, status updates, code review, debugging, and more — plus the meta-builder that lets you grow your own. Every generated spell is end-to-end-tested before being saved (Iron Law). MIT, no telemetry.
