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
wicked-garden
Wicked Garden — AI-Native SDLC A full software development lifecycle as a single Claude Code plugin. 14 domains, 80 specialist agents, 152 commands — covering everything from requirements through production operations. What makes it different from a good CLAUDE.md: it's executable infrastructure, not passive guidance. Hooks enforce workflow gates before Claude sees your prompt. Context from memory, search, and project state is assembled automatically on every turn. Decisions persist across sessions. Quality gates actually block progression when evidence is missing. Works standalone with zero external dependencies. Local SQLite storage. No API keys, no cloud services, no setup beyond install. Core systems: - Crew — Signal-driven project workflows with 8 phases (clarify → design → build → test → review → operate), 7-dimension complexity scoring, hard-enforced quality gates, and multi-perspective consensus review for high-stakes decisions - Smaht — Automatic context assembly on every prompt via 3-tier routing (h
PAPI: Persistent Adaptive Project Intelligence
Adaptive plan/build/review cycles for AI coding assistants, persisted across sessions.
