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
Zero Slop
Zero Slop is a skill for Claude Code, not an AI model. Claude performs distinct interpreting, rewriting, copy-editing, and read-aloud roles; local tools score the writing and protect facts, then Claude and the tools verify the final text. Private learning adapts to later writer edits. The local checks run offline and have zero dependencies.
