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
gemini-for-claude
Bridge Claude Code to Google's Gemini CLI. Mirrors the pattern of the official Codex plugin but for Google's AI stack. Adds 9 slash commands under /gemini: for code review, adversarial security review with CVE search, web-grounded research via Google Search (capability Codex lacks), task delegation with 1M-token context, image generation via nanobanana, and background job management. Supports Google OAuth (free tier), API key, and Vertex AI auth. Zero npm dependencies — one auditable Node.js ESM companion script.
thread-keeper
Multi-agent shared brain across Claude, Codex, Antigravity, Gemini, Copilot, and VS Code.
