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
noob-mode
Plain-English translation layer for non-technical Copilot CLI users. Translates every approval prompt, error message, and technical output into clear, jargon-free English with color-coded risk indicators.
SMS Bridge
Scoped Android SMS access for AI agents, with Hebrew invoices, OTP, and tracking.
How to run each
noob-mode
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
