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
learning-toolkit
A Claude Code plugin that teaches you through questions instead of answers. Two skills — learn guides you through code understanding with four modes (Socratic questioning, concept chunking, gap analysis, and syntax hints), while prompt-check catches when you're prompting poorly and coaches you toward better questions. Both auto-trigger based on how you're asking, so you don't need to invoke them explicitly.
