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
Where Was I
Persistent memory for Claude Code — at ~350 tokens ambient cost, with no Docker, no API keys, and no MCP servers. Engram captures your sessions structurally on PreCompact (zero LLM cost), extracts atomic memories via a single lightweight LLM digest (preferences, practices, current context), and detects emergent patterns from your history — files you always edit together, recurring errors, tool usage anomalies — stored as an auditable Obsidian-compatible wiki. Key features: • Per-project handoff notes — at session start you get a narrative message from the last session in this project • Atomic UPSERT memories keyed by topic — latest wins, no drift, no embeddings • Emergent pattern detection (co-edits, error recurrence, project streaks, tool anomalies) • Durable preferences stay global; ephemeral context is scoped per project • 4-flag CLI surface: --stats, --query, --memories, --forget • Everything local: SQLite at ~/.claude/memory.db, markdown wiki at ~/.claude/patterns/
