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
CLI for Agents
Patterns for designing CLIs that coding agents can run reliably: flags, help with examples, pipelines, errors, idempotency, dry-run.
chisle
Cuts Claude Code's token use on three axes: terse answers that keep every decisive fact, smallest-code-that-works rules, and a PostToolUse hook that trims oversized tool output before it re-enters the context. Benchmarks with raw transcripts, including the runs it loses, are published in the repository.
How to run each
CLI for Agents
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
