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.

agent-discussion
Coordinate multi-agent debates across different AI platforms (Claude Code, Antigravity, Copilot, Gemini CLI, etc.) using a shared file protocol. Each agent reads one skill and handles everything autonomously — intros, turn-taking, and consensus.
Darwin RAG
Local-first RAG engine with MCP server for AI agent integration.
