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
ocrwell
Teaches Claude Code the OCRWell document OCR API so it generates correct integration code without having to be fed documentation. The agent learns the /v1 endpoints, the two-step upload flow (create upload → PUT to presigned URL → create document), asynchronous job polling with backoff, both structured-extraction schema formats (template and JSON Schema), the full error catalogue, rate-limit headers, and HMAC-SHA256 webhook signature verification. It also knows the quiet gotchas, like treating a 200 response carrying job.status: "failed" as a job failure rather than an HTTP success.
