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
guided-ai-product-management
The most comprehensive PM skills plugin available — 83 structured workflows across 9 domains, built natively for Claude Code and compatible with Cursor, Windsurf, and Gemini CLI via MCP.
