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
claude-perfectionist
Claude Perfectionist audits your Claude Code instruction harness — CLAUDE.md, rules, hooks, settings, MCP config — and finds contradictions, missing verification, stale commands, and context bloat you didn't know you had. Key features: - Verdict-first reports with adaptive templates (audit, bootstrap, contradiction debug) - Evidence-grounded findings with honest confidence levels — no fake certainty - Fix-first remediation — resolves contradictions before deleting anything - Grades with human meaning (A — production-ready through F — actively misleading) - Pure markdown, zero dependencies — works in Claude Code and Claude.ai
