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-native
cc-native keeps your Claude Code configuration aware of weekly feature changes. Bundles a Guide-and-Verify workflow: an always-current edit-time skill (feature-guide), lint hooks for .claude/ artifacts, and a read-only audit subagent (auditor) that catches schema drift before edits ship.
