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
cc-group-chat
Cross-window group chat for Claude Code. Multiple Claude Code sessions join a shared room and message each other via @-mentions; the addressed session wakes automatically through the Channels mechanism, so agents can coordinate directly instead of you relaying context between windows. Sessions are isolated by project directory (or an explicit room id), so different projects do not interfere with each other.
