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
cc-fleet
Run any third-party LLM provider with an Anthropic-compatible API as real Claude Code agent-team teammates (terminal claude inside tmux or iTerm2) or one-shot subagents via the cc-fleet CLI — driven just like native teammates; your main session's own auth (OAuth or API key) is untouched, provider workers bill the provider key.
io.github.xiaolai/claude-octopus
Spawn multiple specialized Claude Code agents as MCP servers, each independently configured.
