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
workshop-mode
Voice-triggered dev environment setup for macOS. Type a phrase in Claude Code and your terminals snap into a grid across your screens, music starts playing, and apps tile into place. Configurable trigger phrase, music, terminal themes, and multi-monitor layouts. Ala Tony Stark.
Better Computer Use
Codex-style computer use for Claude Code. Drives Windows and macOS apps through the accessibility tree instead of screenshots, so it targets exactly, survives display scaling, and costs about 20x fewer tokens. It can also work on the same desktop while you keep working, telling your input apart from its own.
