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
docs-context
docs-context is the "Super Base Context" for Agent Coding: a structured replacement for single-file CLAUDE.md that separates project knowledge into five purpose-specific docs (architecture, modules, coding, tech-stack, decisions), loads only what the current task needs, and keeps those docs in sync with the code as a net-delta-triggered Write mode. Read mode fires before any non-trivial write/modify/refactor/design/plan task, grounding the agent in architectural constraints and conventions. Write mode fires once at the end of a task when landed changes (code, config, SQL, build scripts) differ from the doc state — no firing on read-only work, in-progress edits, or try-and-undo. Works across Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity, Trae, Qoder via the standard SKILL.md format.
context-mode
MCP is the protocol for tool access. We're the virtualization layer for context.
