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
PII Scanner
Scan files, directories, or git repositories for personally identifiable information — credentials (gitleaks), generic PII (Microsoft Presidio), and matches against a user-maintained personal PII inventory (names, addresses, family, IDs) stored locally.
GitGuardian
The official GitGuardian plugin for AI coding agents. Detects 700+ hardcoded secret types across files, git history, Docker images, and PyPI packages via the ggshield CLI; plants AWS honeytoken tripwires for the leaks scanning can't catch; and surfaces live incidents in your editor via the bundled GitGuardian Developer MCP server.
