Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.

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
ai-coding-ok
PDCA memory loop for Claude Code — prevents "AI fixed bug X and broke feature Y" across iterations. Installs a three-tier memory system in your project (project-memory, decisions-log, task-history) and enforces a closed PDCA loop on every task: Plan (read memory before coding), Do, Check, Act (write memory back after). The Act step is what most tools skip — without it, your context file rots after 10 iterations. With it, iteration 50 has the same context quality as iteration 1. Complements superpowers: superpowers brings per-session discipline, ai-coding-ok brings cross-session memory. Also works with Copilot, Cursor, and OpenCode via the same templates.
Desktop Commander
MCP server for terminal commands, file operations, and process management
