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
briefing
A Claude Code plugin that lets a subagent declare its required skills in frontmatter — and guarantees they are loaded before the agent thinks its first thought. No "MANDATORY: load X first" pleading in the body. No silent skips. The skills are simply there when the agent wakes up.
persona
The user can inject experts into their Claude Code session. It provides the programmed experts with specific priorities, communication styles, and domain knowledge to help. Each persona has references and skills for improved capabilities and the user can even delegate tasks to personas which will spawn subagents to complete the task with their domain expertise.
