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
session-orchestrator
Session-level orchestration for Claude Code - structures development work into 5 typed waves (Discovery → Core → Polish → Quality → Finalization) with parallel subagent execution, inter-wave quality gates, and verified close-out. Auto-detects GitLab or GitHub from your git remote for full VCS lifecycle support. Three commands replace manual session management: /session starts with project analysis, /go executes the wave plan, /close verifies and commits.
session-handoff
A Claude Code plugin that lets you hand off an in-flight task from one AI tool to another — Claude Code → Codex, Codex → Cursor, Cursor → a fresh Claude session — without losing decisions, dead-ends, or "what to do next." Sessions are named, so multiple parallel threads of work can coexist in the same repo. Ships: /handoff [session] — write the current session's state into HANDOFF.<session>.md /resume [session] — read that file, reconcile with git status, and execute the next concrete step A PreCompact hook that blocks context compaction until a fresh handoff exists, so Claude Code never silently summarizes away your unsaved state
