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
Slopstop
A Claude Code plugin that keeps a durable per-ticket plan, findings, and progress log for every ticket you work on — without bloating the ticket itself or polluting the repo. Auto-detects Linear or JIRA as your ticket system at run-time. The four slash commands form a complete loop around a ticket: - /ticket-plugin:start <KEY> fetches the ticket, transitions it to "In Progress", and seeds task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Resuming an existing ticket reads back the tracking files and prints a summary. - /ticket-plugin:update is a mid-session checkpoint. The ticket stays active. - /ticket-plugin:pause snapshots state and clears the active-ticket pointer. Local-only. - /ticket-plugin:archive pushes the final task plan back to the ticket as its description and posts findings as a comment, then archives the local folder. Refuses to run unless the ticket is already in a terminal state on the ticket system — the user controls the state transition. The aim: fewer wasted tokens re-explaining context between
