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
brewdoc
Brewdoc - Claude Code documentation tools: doc-staleness tracking, memory-sync generator, my-claude installation docs, Markdown to PDF, publishing to brewpage.app
distill
distill analyzes your codebase and generates structured context files in .claude/docs/. Instead of Claude reading source files to orient itself every session, it reads concise, pre-built docs on demand — testing.md when working on tests, api.md when working on endpoints, nothing when the task doesn't need it. Token cost becomes proportional to task relevance, not project size. Supports incremental updates (--update only regenerates stale docs), depth profiles (--lean for 30-line summaries, --deep for comprehensive reference), parallel generation for large doc sets, monorepo detection, team configuration via .distill.yml, and a pre-push hook that warns when docs drift.
