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
agented
A text editor for LLMs, not humans. Optimized for the model's cost model: fewer round trips per task (no Read-before-Edit; conflict responses carry the new content, so you reconcile in one call instead of pre-reading every time), tighter token budget (lean tab output, not JSON envelopes; ~5x denser than the built-in Read/Edit shape), inline LSP diagnostics on every save (gopls, rust-analyzer-with-clippy, tsserver+eslint findings come back as diag lines instead of round-tripping through cargo / go build), reactive drift detection (external editor or formatter writes are folded into the undo tree as new edits, not silently clobbered or lost), and a branching undo tree that remembers the branches the agent abandoned — because that's often where the interesting work was. Three-way merge for concurrent agents, atomic multi-file refactors, cross-session memory via per-file annotations.
mattpocock-skills
Matt Pocock's agent skills for real engineering — grilling, spec/ticket flows, TDD, code review, domain modelling and more. Plug-and-play, not vibe coding.
