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
ws
ws is a working set manager for Claude Code. Use /ws:map to describe a feature and Claude automatically identifies relevant files across your codebase, adding them to a focused, navigable list. Use /ws:install to set up the ws CLI on any OS. Working sets are branch-scoped and persistent — switch git branches and your context switches with you. Built for AI-assisted coding workflows where you need to track a curated set of files rather than browse your entire project tree.
