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
chub
Fetches curated, versioned API docs from Context Hub before writing code — so Claude uses current APIs instead of hallucinating from training data. Auto-installs via npx (no global setup), refreshes the doc registry each session, and supports search, annotations, and feedback. Works with 1500+ documented libraries including OpenAI, Stripe, Anthropic, and more.
ai.byteask/embedded-docs
Page-cited retrieval for embedded docs, datasheets, MISRA, CMSIS, and RTOS references.
