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
alfred
Alfred teaches 8 development habits using domain-specific language from 7 professional personas (ML/Data Science, Research, Business Analytics, Product Analytics, Data Platform, General, Writer/Editor). It explains concepts once using your domain's analogies, then goes silent as you learn. Your corrections automatically harden into permanent CLAUDE.md rules and then into automated hooks that enforce them. Install, run /alfred:bootstrap, answer 3 questions, and start working.
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.
