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
ido4shape
A specification discovery plugin for Cowork and Claude Code. Helps product managers, founders, and tech leads figure out what to build before writing a single line of code. Unlike tools that assume you already know what to build, ido4shape starts at "tell me about your problem" and guides you through creative, non-linear conversation — reading your documents, asking the questions that matter, surfacing risks you hadn't considered, and tracking understanding across multiple sessions via a persistent knowledge canvas. When understanding is deep enough, it synthesizes a structured strategic specification with capability groups, dependencies, priorities, risk assessments, and verifiable success conditions. Independent parallel reviewers (technical feasibility, scope alignment, dependency audit, format quality) catch issues before the spec is finalized. The output is a standalone markdown document you can hand to your team, feed to any AI coding tool, or use as a project brief. For teams using ido4 MCP, the strate
