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
context-prime
Orients a fresh session in a repository by loading the last handoff, git state, the project constitution, and active-work signals before acting. Not for writing the handoff; use context-handoff.
context-bench
Plugin description: Self-learning Claude Code plugin that automatically detects what project you're working on and injects the right file context into every session. No manual configuration needed — it learns from your usage patterns, builds confidence scores, and removes stale topics automatically. Uses three hooks: UserPromptSubmit (match & inject), PostToolUse (track changes), SessionEnd (learn & decay). Zero dependencies, Python 3.9+ stdlib only.
