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
backlogd
Turn Claude Code into a problem-driven scrum team. You file problems as Linear issues; an agent team runs the empirical Scrum loop (scope, solve, review, adapt) and owns the solutions. An independent reviewer gates every increment against its acceptance criteria, the Definition of Done, and a standards corpus. Runs on your Claude subscription via the official Linear MCP over OAuth — no API keys.
