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
smart-compact
Save structured session context before /clear and auto-restore it next session. Smart Compact captures what was done, why, decisions made, problems solved, and next steps — so you never lose conversation context again. Includes a SessionStart hook that auto-detects saved context and prompts to reload it.
LoreConvo
Local-first persistent session memory for Claude Code and other agents. SQLite + FTS5, no cloud.
How to run each
