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
wrightward
Multi-agent coordination. When two or more Claude Code sessions work in the same repo, wrightward blocks conflicting writes, injects awareness context, and gives the sessions a peer-to-peer message bus (with six MCP tools) to hand off tasks, watch files, and wake each other up via Claude Code channels. Optionally enables a discord bridge for remotely controlling agent coordination.
