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
superpowers-optimized
Built on the trusted obra/superpowers workflow and refined through research into LLM agent behavior, it adds automatic 3-tier workflow routing, proactive safety hooks, self-consistency verification at critical decision points, cross-session memory, and adversarial red-teaming — everything the original does, plus the discipline layer it was missing. Cross-session memory changes the experience fundamentally. Without it, every session starts blind: the AI re-explores structure it already mapped, re-proposes approaches that were already rejected, re-debugs errors that were already solved. With the four-file memory stack, it arrives knowing what was tried, what was decided, and why — and builds forward instead of sideways. Five research-backed principles run throughout: *less is more* (minimal always-on instructions), *fresh context beats accumulated context* (subagents get clean scoped prompts, not polluted history), *compliance ≠ competence* (instructions must be carefully engineered, not just comprehensive), *v
superpowers-beads
